Hi,

We are deploying RTC server on WAS using LDAP authentication.

We have a project area and team members of this project area. The team members were created in RTC and configured to use LDAP server to authenticate in WAS.

However we would like other people which are not RTC users but LDAP users to be able to login and create work items for the project area.

Is there any way to configure it?

Help will be appriciated.

If you configure the LDAP syncronization - the users you have in LDAP would need to get membership of one of the mapped LDAP groups like MyJazzAdmins mapped to JazzAdmins - then they will be syncronized and created or updated in RTC. However they would still need to be members of a project and have a license so there is a little bit of manual work before they can create workItems. You can select a default license but I dont know if this works for the syncronizer.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for your reply. Yes we have our global bluepage group (around 400 users) which is mapped to JazzUsers in WAS. But for each of those users we have to create Jazz users in RTC manually so we will be able to assign licenses like Contributor or Developer. Maybe is there a command line or a script so we could create RTC users in RTC? So we are looking to create users in RTC in one shot, as creating each user manually is tedious.

Hey Myroslav - Maybe we are misunderstanding one another.

You dont need to create the users manually if you set it up right. LDAP integration from RTC has 2 different features.

1) LDAP authentication - this is what makes it possible to validate username and password towards an AD. User groups define what access rights you have and weather you have access at all. Authentication is set up on the web server tomcat or WAS running RTC.

2) LDAP syncronization - this is a task running on the server that automatically creates the users based on their group membership. This is configured inside RTC.

You can not have users log in to RTC without being a member of a group. However if you need all your AD users to be able to log in - say as contributers to be able to create defects. Then you need to add them to the jazz users group which will syncronize them all to RTC so they can log in. There is no other way to do it as far as I can see. But this also makes sence as they need to be a user to have a any artifacts. How would the users be able to subscribe to work items without being users in RTC ?
