Securing WebSphere Application Server with LDAP

If you want to secure your Jazz™ Team Server by requiring users to authenticate through an LDAP server, you must secure your WebSphere® Application Server with LDAP. You can configure your server to use LDAP security in one of several ways. Please review the following articles for information about configuring WebSphere Application Server security using LDAP:
Note:
  1. Ignore any references in these articles to Tomcat or Derby, as these are not applicable to Rational Team Concert™ on IBM® i.
  2. You must be a registered user of jazz.net to access articles on that site.
  3. To use LDAP for security, you must have an LDAP server to use with Jazz Team Server.
  4. To get basic information about setting up IBM Tivoli® Directory Server for i (LDAP), go to

    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/topic/rzahy/rzahy.pdf.

After you have secured the WebSphere Application Server with LDAP, you can use user IDs and groups from your LDAP server to grant Jazz Team Server repository permissions, and also to create Jazz Team Server repository users that map to LDAP users.

For information about server administration configuration of WebSphere Application Server 6.1, go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp, for WebSphere Application Server 7.0, go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp.

Note: You must perform LDAP authentication in the WebSphere Application Server console.
