Issue/Introduction

Configuring Workload Automation DE to use LDAP user property that contains the username.

What values should be assigned to the ldap.propertyNameForLogin= statement in the server.properties file?

Environment

CA Workload Automation DE 11.3.x, 12.x

Resolution

The values assigned to the ldap.propertyNameForLogin= statement depend on how the LDAP user's login names were configured in the LDAP server by the LDAP administrator.

If the user's login names were configured in the "cn" property of the Microsoft AD or Novel-eDirectory LDAP servers, then use;
ldap.propertyNameForLogin=cn

For the SUNONE LDAP it is
ldap.propertyNameForLogin=uid.

If the user's login names were configured in other than either the "cn" or the "uid" properties then the ldap.propertyNameForLogin= needs to be set so that the dSeries server could get specified property values and shows them as user's login names, for instance:

ldap.propertyNameForLogin=sAMAccountName

Set the property in <DE_install_dir>/conf/server.properties file (on primary and standby, if HAC) and restart DE Server.
