IBM FileNet Integration with IDP and LDAP - Unified User Identity and Access

  • 1.  IBM FileNet Integration with IDP and LDAP - Unified User Identity and Access

    Posted 3 hours ago

    We're exploring an integration scenario between IBM FileNet and an Identity Provider (IdP) alongside existing LDAP-based authentication.

    In our current setup, users can authenticate through either:

    • LDAP (traditional directory-based login), or

    • IdP (federated SSO/SAML/OIDC login)

    The question is:

    If the same user account exists in both LDAP and the IdP, is it possible for IBM FileNet to recognize these two authentication paths as a single unified user identity?

    Specifically, we want to know whether FileNet can:

    • Map the LDAP and IdP user entries to one unique user within FileNet,

    • Ensure access to the same objects, privileges, and roles, and

    • Maintain a shared inbox and task list (rather than creating duplicate user entries or separate worklists).

    Any insights or best practices for achieving this unified identity handling - particularly around user mapping, directory synchronization, or SSO configuration - would be greatly appreciated.
