Rational Directory Server modes
IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
supports two directory server modes: Standalone mode and Corporate mode.
Standalone mode
In this mode, user names and group names are stored in the DOORS database. The user names and group names are not shared with other applications.
Corporate mode
In this mode, you can configure the directory server to integrate with your external corporate LDAP repositories. Then, your corporate LDAP repository can serve as the user and group read-only repository for Engineering Lifecycle Management tools. You can access the corporate user and group information locally from the corporate partition.
Note: Although nested groups can exist in corporate LDAP, they are not supported by
DOORS
