Configure Oracle Empirica Signal for use with LDAP in a self-hosted environment
Note:
This procedure does not apply for Oracle-hosted installations.LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an internet protocol used to look up information stored in a directory on a server. The Oracle Empirica Signal application provides a way for you to update user information using LDAP. Thus, user information can be maintained in an LDAP directory and imported into the application. User authentication is performed by LDAP instead of by the standard means of authentication in Oracle Empirica Signal.
When user information is stored in an LDAP directory, users can be identified by a unique user attribute that remains constant despite potential user name changes in the LDAP directory.
Note:
The Oracle Empirica Signal application does not update information in the LDAP directory.You can configure Oracle Empirica Signal to use LDAP by editing a properties file template for Active Directory, Sun One Directory, or Oracle Internet Directory. For more information, see your LDAP documentation.
