Customizing the User Log-In

When you run the Delegated Administrator configure program (config-commda), the value you use to log in to Delegated Administrator is set to be a uid.

For example, if you intend to log in as the TLA, and the TLA’s uid is john.doe, you would use john.doe to log in to Delegated Administrator.

You can customize Delegated Administrator to enable you to use additional values for the user log-in. For example, you could add the mail address (mail).

How the User Log-In Value Is Set

The config-commda program sets this value to uid with the loginAuth-idAttr property in the resource.properties file, as shown in the following example:

loginAuth-searchBase=<$rootSuffix>
         servicepackage-cosdefbasedn = <$rootSuffix>
          loginAuth-idAttr-1=uid

where <$rootSuffix> is the root suffix in your directory.

The resource.properties file is located in

da_base/data/WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet/
resource.properties

Adding a User Log-In Value

You can set additional values for the user log-in by editing the resource.properties file.

For example, to enable you to use a mail address (such as john.doe@sesta.com) to log in, you could add the following line to the resource.properties file:

loginAuth-searchBase=<$rootSuffix>
         servicepackage-cosdefbasedn = <$rootSuffix>
          loginAuth-idAttr-1=uid
          loginAuth-idAttr-2=mail

where <$rootSuffix> is the root suffix in your directory.

Note that you must add an increment to the loginAuth-idAttr property for each new value. In this example, a second value is added, so you add -2 to loginAuth-idAttr.

You can add multiple instances of the loginAuth-idAttr property:

          loginAuth-idAttr-1=uid 
            loginAuth-idAttr-2=mail 
            | 
            loginAuth-idAttr-n=<login-in value>
