Adding Unwired Platform LDAP Entities

Active Directory setup for Unwired Platform use requires that you add the correct combination of users, roles, and groups.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have read the Active Directory considerations documented for this LDAP server.

Create a user entries for the super administrator in Active Directory in the required organizational unit (OU). If these credentials do not exactly match, authentication fails. Depending on the directory structure, you may need to add this users to one or more OUs:
- If all user entries are part of the same OU, then add supAdmin in the common OU.
- If users are distributed among multiple OUs, add supAdmin to the parent OU.
By default, the super administrator user ID issupAdmin and the default password is s3pAdmin. However, you can change these credentials to those belonging to a real user. Repeat this step if you are using multiple domains or multiple Active Directory sites.
Create a group called SUP Administrator and ensure it is added at the same level as administrator user entries.
Assign all administration user entries to the SUP Administrator group. Only users in the SUP administration group can log into Sybase Control Center with their LDAP user entry credentials.
Ensure all other SUP users are added to the directory in the appropriate OU and replicate these additions to other domains or sites as required.

For example, say user01, user02, and user03 are members of the Sales OU in a domain called Europe.Mycompany.com, and user04, user05, user06, and user07 are members of the Support OU in a domain called NA.Mycompany.com. The directory would then look something like this:

Europe.Mycompany.com (Domain)
  Sales (OU)
    Region1 (OU)
      user01 (User)
    Region2 (OU)
      user02 (User)
    Region3 (OU)
      user03 (User)

NA.Mycompany.com (Domain)
  Support (OU)
    Toronto (OU)
      user04 (User)
    NewYork (OU)
      user05 (User)
      user06 (User)
      user07 (User)

When you are finished, the directory would appear something like this, with Unwired Platform entities bolded:

Europe.Mycompany.com (Domain)
  Sales (OU)
    supAdmin (User)
    SUP Administrator (Group)
    Region1 (OU)
      user01 (User)
    Region2 (OU)
      user02 (User)
    Region3 (OU)
      user03 (User)

NA.Mycompany.com (Domain)
  Support (OU)
    supAdmin (User)
    SUP Administrator (Group)
    Toronto (OU)
      user04 (User)
    NewYork (OU)
      user05 (User)
      user06 (User)
      user07 (User)
