Configuring support for the Novell eDirectory directory server
The Novell eDirectory directory server is supported as an LDAP server by LiveCycle Policy Server. To
configure eDirectory as an authentication provider, install LiveCycle Policy Server to use LDAP
configuration as described in this guide for your application server. Then, when you log into LiveCycle
Policy Server as an administrator, use the following process.
➤
To configure eDirectory as an authentication provider:
1. In the eDirectory Help, select
Configuring User Authentication
>
Configuring domains
>
Adding
domains
and follow the procedure “To add a domain.”
2. When you add a new directory and populate the New Directory fields, first select the option to
populate the page with “No defaults”, and then proceed according to the parameters of your
environment.
3. Be sure to use the value
edirectory
for Name Attribute for both users and groups. Do
not
use
entrydn
.
Depending on the application server you are using, configuration steps may be required from the
administrative console to use eDirectory. For more information, see your application server's
documentation.
LiveCycle Reader Extensions
After deploying LiveCycle Reader Extensions to the application server, you can perform the following
tasks:
●
Create applications for LiveCycle Reader Extensions. (See the LiveCycle Reader Extensions
Developer’s
Guide
.)
●
If you plan to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions to add usage rights to individual documents, you can
use the LiveCycle Reader Extensions web application or an internal application (such as an EJB or
servlet). (See
“Accessing the LiveCycle Reader Extensions web application” on page 30
.)
Accessing the LiveCycle Reader Extensions web application
If you plan to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions to add usage rights to individual documents, you can use
the LiveCycle Reader Extensions web application or an internal application (such as an EJB or servlet).
You must ensure that those responsible for adding usage rights know where the web application or
internal application are located on your network. For information about setting usage rights, see the
LiveCycle Reader Extensions
Developer’s Guide
or
Web Application
Help
.
