Products

Issue/Introduction

Our company is going to upgrade and change LDAP settings, and our CA TDM portal need to work with LDAP.

We want to Evaluate the impact to CA portal. Can you please let us know if any way to do so? 

Environment

Release : 4.9

Component : CA Test Data Manager - Others

Resolution

  If there is an upgrade or change in LDAP settings, we need to understand what those changes are. Based on those changes, we need to modify LDAP configuration in TDM Portal.

   During this LDAP upgrade process, if there is a connectivity issues with LDAP server, TDM portal authentication fails and users will see an issues when they login.

   To be ale to work with the Native users of LDAP, please ensure that below property in "application.properties" file under "C:\Program Files\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\conf" is set to "false".

tdmweb.security.disableNativeUsers

When you change the property from true to false please restart the TDMPortalService.
Now you should be able to login with Native users of TDM like below default super user.

User: administrator
password: marmite

     Once the LDAP migration completed, make necessary LDAP changes in TDM portal to restore LDAP configuration.
