Configure Sybase Control Center security providers to authenticate user logins through an LDAP server, the operating system, or both.
Sybase strongly recommends that you use a common authentication provider for all Sybase products, including Sybase Control Center. A common authentication provider ensures that single sign-on works for users of Sybase Control Center and its managed servers.
When authentication is accomplished through LDAP or an operating system, the authenticated user is assigned roles matching the groups that the user is a member of in the LDAP server or the operating system. Unless the groups have default mappings in the Sybase Control Center roles-map.xml file, you must then map those roles to Sybase Control Center roles in the roles-map.xml file.
Sybase Control Center can be configured to authenticate through any LDAP server that supports the inetOrgPerson (RFC 2798) schema.
