Sonatype CLM Server - Security Administration Guide
The first step to establish the LDAP connection is to configure Sonatype CLM to point to your LDAP server. Those instructions are pretty straightforward as long as you have the necessary information. For this example, let’s assume we have been provided the following information:
|
Server Name |
Test LDAP Server |
|
Protocol |
LDAP |
|
Hostname |
wind-son04 |
|
Port |
389 |
|
Search Base |
dc=sonatype,dc=com |
|
Authentication Type |
Simple |
|
Username |
testuser |
|
Password |
tester |
Note
The information provide will not allow you to access an LDAP server, and is provided just for demonstration purposes. In addition, this is only a representation of a simple connection. For an explanation of all available parameters, please see the next section.
Now, access the Sonatype CLM Server:
- Log into the Sonatype CLM Server (by default this is available at http://localhost:8070) using a user account with Admin-level permissions (a member of the Admin Group).
-
Click the system preferences icon
located in the top right of the CLM Header/Screen (resembles a
cog/gear).
- Choose LDAP from the available option. The LDAP Administration area will be displayed.
- Enter the various parameters, and then use the Test Connection button to ensure a connection can be made to the configured LDAP Server.
- Click the Save button when finished.
Using the information from the table above, our configuration should look something like this:
Note
If at any point you wish to reset the form, click the reset button and any value that have been entered will be removed.
