    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.
