Issue/Introduction

Logging onto the CEM User Interface for the first time the customer encountered the following error: LDP6001E Invalid bind credentials....

Environment

Release : 6.0

Component : Compliance Event Manager (CEM)

Cause

The CEMELDAP port was changed from the default 389 to 6366 (so as not to conflict with a recently spawned IBM LDAP task already running on port 389.)  This change was not correctly reflected in the existing login.json file used by the CEM UI that had been initially created specifying the default 389.

Resolution

The immediate fix to this error condition was to change the LDAP port to the correct value in the existing login.json member:  

 

/.../ccem/cacem/config/login.json

 

 

Additional Information

To coordinate for a permanent solution would be to update the 'CUSTOM.CFGLIB(CEMECFGX)' member to specify the same LDAP port as stated in the 'CUSTOM.CFGLIB(CEMSLPC)' used by the CEMELDAP started task, and then to run the J01160 job to copy these values to the 'uss' directories, and then delete the login.json file to be built dynamically again with the correct allocations.
