Support for LDAP Integration

Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator can be enabled to use an LDAP-compliant directory service to manage Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator user profiles and user-role relationships. After enabling Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator for LDAP, user profiles can be administered through an LDAP server. LDAP integration is governed by the “ldap.enabled” property included in the “application.properties” file.

The following additional properties should be specified while turning on LDAP based authentication (ldap.enabled = true):

1. Specify the URL of the LDAP server (along with the port).

ldap.url=ldap://yourLdapServer.yourCompany.com:389/

2. Specify the base of the distinguished name depending on where the user is located.

Distinguished Name (DN) is an LDAP entry that uniquely identifies and describes an entry in a directory (LDAP) server. Here, OU stands for Organizational Unit and DC stands for Domain Component.

ldap.base.dn=ou=People,dc=companydomain,dc=org

3. Specify the pattern of the username as per the distinguished name.

ldap.user.dn.pattern = uid={0}

4. Specify the name of the attribute that holds the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator role information.

ldap.role.attribute.name = employeeType

Refer to LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) definition of a user on the LDAP server to populate these properties.
