Answer
To use LDAP authentication, you need to configure the installation property, and make sure all the users are being created in UPT.
Step 1. Configure Installation Property
You can use either the GUI installer or Command Line installation to modify the configuration file. The following information is necessary:

h2. Answer To use LDAP authentication, you need to configure the installation property, and make sure all the users are being created in UPT. h3. Step 1. Configure Installation Property You can use either the GUI installer or Command Line installation to modify the configuration file. The following information is necessary: h4. GUI Installer Text : Property Name {code} "LDAP Host Name" : ldap.host (E.g., ldap_host.mydomain.com) "LDAP Search Base" : ldap.searchbase (The subdirectory in LDAP where users/roles should be searched for. E.g., ou=users, o=mydomain.com) "LDAP Search Prefix" : ldap.searchprefix (The user ID prefix which is used by your LDAP server. uid=) {code} h4. Commend Line installation |

UPT?
| Code Block |

} Log into the UPT for the caarray application Click on the User Tab Click on "Create a New User" Enter the user's LDAP account into the "User Login Name" Field Enter user's first name Enter user's last name Enter user's email address (You can add other information you would like about the user, but *DO NOT enter* a password) Click on the "Add" button On the next screen, click on the "Associated Groups" button Add the proper group (i.e. Principal Investigator, Lab Scientist, etc.) Click on the "Update Associations" button {code} |
The
...
user
...
should
...
now
...
be
...
able
...
to
...
login
...
using
...
their
...
LDAP
...
account
...
credentials.
...
The
...
UPT
...
is
...
designed
...
to
...
first
...
check
...
for
...
a
...
password
...
provided
...
in
...
the
...
UPT.
...
If
...
the
...
password
...
field
...
is
...
blank,
...
it
...
will
...
then
...
try
...
to
...
look
...
for
...
an
...
LDAP
...
connection
...
and
...
authentication.

Step

3:
...
LDAP
...
configuration
...
in
...
caArray
...
2.2.1
...
and
...
under
...
Several
...
bugs
...
were
...
identified
...
in
...
the
...
caArray
...
installer
...
(release
...
2.2.1
...
&
...
under)
...
with
...
regard
...
to
...
the
...
proper
...
LDAP
...
configuration.
...
The
...
bugs
...
have
...
been
...
fixed
...
in
...
the
...
caArray
...
2.3.0
...
release.
...
In
...
order
...
to
...
make
...
sure
...
the
...
LDAP
...
is
...
working
...
properly
...
with
...
any
...
caArray
...
instance
...
prior
...
to
...
caArray
...
version
...
2.3.0,
...
however,
...
the
...
user
...
needs
...
to
...
manually
...
configure
...
the
...
web.xml
...
inside
...
the
...
caarray.war
