Integration with LDAP

This section details the characteristics of the LDAP integration and the different steps necessary for its implementation. LDAP commands are described in section "LDAP Commands".

Univiewer LDAP integration covers authentication and synchronization. The table below displays the features of the two modes.

	Authentication Mode	Synchronization Mode
User authentication to Univiewer is performed by an LDAP directory server	Yes	Yes
Password management is delegated to the LDAP directory server.	Yes	Yes
LDAP logins can be automatically registered as UVMS users	Default groups will be attributed	The associated LDAP groups can be created automatically in the UVMS groups.
	Users must still be declared in Univiewer (provided they exist in LDAP)	Users and groups are declared in Univiewer during synchronization.
	Users and groups are managed by Univiewer	Users and groups are managed by LDAP server

Secure communications can be implemented with SASL or SSL:

Access control to Univiewer resources is managed internally by the UVMS. Be careful:

Users created in UVMS must contain only the following characters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!#&'()+,-.:;>=<?@[]_{|}~
Groups created in UVMS must contain only the following characters: http://www.asciitable.com/index/asciifull.gif . Groups imported from LDAP are not checked.

LDAP integration follows a three-step implementation:

UVMS LDAP Configuration File update
UVMS UVMS LDAP Node Settings update, LDAP activation
UVMS restart

It is recommended to read the whole section before implementing LDAP integration.

As of version 6.10.41, documentation new updates are posted on the Broadcom Techdocs Portal.
