Preparing the LDAP Directory

As security administrator, Jane modifies the OpenDS LDAP repository to set up required user and group accounts.

Jane creates user accounts for Tom, Mary, and John, and grants membership to appropriate Unwired Platform groups:
  • Tom becomes a member of Acme's "SUP Developer" group (which allows him to deploy application packages to Unwired Server as required).
  • John becomes a member of the Acme "SUP Administrator" group.
  • Mary becomes a member of Acme's “SUP User” group.
  1. Configuring OpenDS to Import Encoded Passwords From LDIF
    Because Acme has an LDIF file that includes encoded passwords, Jane must configure OpenDS to handle this correctly on import.
  2. Connecting Apache DS to OpenDS
    Jane uses Apache DS as the LDAP browser.
  3. Importing LDIF Contents
    Jane uses an LDAP Browser view to import LDIF file contents.
