Welcome to AquaLogic Interaction Identity Service - LDAP

AquaLogic Interaction Identity Service - LDAP enables you to import and synchronize users, associated profile information, and groups into the portal from an external LDAP source. User profile information can then be mapped to portal properties and stored in the database. At the time of login, the user's user name and password are passed to the LDAP source for purposes of authentication. This replaces native LDAP authentication.

This guide describes the following installation and setup steps in the order in which you should perform them:

  1. Complete pre-installation procedures.
  2. Install software on the remote server host computer.
  3. Deploy the LDAP IDS package to an application server.
  4. Register the remote server with the portal.
  5. Tune configuration for deployment components.
  6. This guide also includes procedures for uninstalling LDAP IDS software.
