The following details are stated in the 7.1 FP18 Read Me (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-tivoli-netcoolimpact-v710-fix-pack-18-710-tiv-nci-fp0018)
3.0 Troubleshooting Netcool Impact 7.1 > General issues
- Enabling LDAP Authentication
When editing the $IMPACT_HOME/install/security/impactdap.properties before enabling LDAP Authentication, ensure the version of the impactdap.properties
is from the latest install!
* Do not copy a props file from a different/older FixPack.
* Ensure to only edit the properties, do not delete/remove any of the properties before running the $IMPACT_HOME/install/security/confAuth4LDAP.sh
script
* If setting up new LDAP authentication with an Active Directory LDAP server on an Impact FP18 install, the following 5 properties will need to be un-commented in impactdap.properties
# Custom LDAP Search Filtering (Default values for Microsoft Active Directory)
LDAPUserFilter="(&(sAMAccountName=%v)(objectcategory=user))"
LDAPGroupFilter="(&(cn=%v)(objectcategory=group))"
LDAPUserIdMap="user:sAMAccountName"
LDAPGroupIdMap="*:cn"
LDAPGroupMemberIdMap="memberof:member"
One the common mistake made users is not include line of :
LDAPFailOverHost=""
LDAPFailOverPort=""
Without these two lines, the confAuth4LDAP.sh script will fail.
In Fixpack 19 , these two lines are optional.
