(Optional) Setting Up Directory Authentication

This section discusses how to use map authentication and view user properties.

For information about setting up authentication servers, user profile maps, and role membership rules, refer to the following documentation.

Pages Used to Set Up Directory Authentication

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Authentication Page	DSSECMAPMAIN	Create a mapping for the directory that the system relies on for authenticating users.
Mandatory User Properties Page	DSUSRPRFLMANMAP	Specify the attributes required for sign-in. You can have the system retrieve these mandatory values from the directory server, or you can enter default values.
Optional User Properties Page	DSUSRPRFLOPTMAP	Specify optional user properties to store in and retrieve from the directory. You can specify general, permission list, and workflow attributes. All these attributes appear in the User Profile component.

Authentication Page

Use the Authentication page (DSSECMAPMAIN) to create a mapping for the directory that the system relies on for authenticating users.

Navigation:

Enterprise Components, and then Directory Interface, and then Mappings, and then Authentication

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Authentication page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this page to create a mapping for the directory that the system relies on for authenticating users.

Field or Control	Description
Anonymous Bind	If directory data required for authentication and user profile maintenance is visible to an anonymous connection, you can select this check box.
Use Secure Socket Layer	Select if you are using SSL between the PeopleSoft system and the directory server.

Mandatory User Properties Page

Use the Mandatory User Properties page (DSUSRPRFLMANMAP) to specify the attributes required for sign-in.

You can have the system retrieve these mandatory values from the directory server, or you can enter default values.

Navigation:

Enterprise Components, and then Directory Interface, and then Mappings, and then User Profiles, and then Mandatory User Properties

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Mandatory User Properties page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Select Authentication Map and set check boxes and field values as needed.

Optional User Properties Page

Use the Optional User Properties page (DSUSRPRFLOPTMAP) to specify optional user properties to store in and retrieve from the directory.

You can specify general, permission list, and workflow attributes. All these attributes appear in the User Profile component.

Navigation:

Enterprise Components, and then Directory Interface, and then Mappings, and then User Profiles, and then Optional User Properties

Use the Mandatory User Properties page or the Optional User Properties page to specify the attributes required for sign-in. You can have the system retrieve these mandatory values from the directory server, or you can enter default values.

The default shows the Attribute Name field available. If you select the Use Constant Value check box, the Constant Value field becomes available instead.
