Security is more important than ever, and securing applications is a priority to every company. Many clients ask for documentation on configuring Maximo for LDAP authentication. You end up having to review many different articles to address a single topic, so I’ve decided to lay out a basic LDAP configuration using WebSphere 7 and Maximo 7.5.0.5. This will walk through connecting WebSphere to your domain right down to the synchronization process and hopefully give a more clear understanding of the configuration process. For the purpose of this blog were going to discuss this configuration with Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD or AD). However these steps can be applied with Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) as well.
