Configuring Event Stream Processor for Administration

To enable users to start and stop ESP nodes, projects, and adapters from the Sybase Control Center Administration Console, and to view node and project log files, map a native OS, preconfigured login, LDAP, or SAP BI group to the espAdminRole role.

The ESP node uses your corresponding authentication provider to determine which groups a user belongs to and then uses the csi_role_mapping.xml file to map these groups to the appropriate roles. This file is located in the ESP-5_1\security directory, which by default is installed in the Sybase directory. You may choose to map an existing group to espAdminRole or create a new group.

  1. Open ESP-5_1\security\csi_role_mapping.xml.
    The <Mapping> element represents a mapping for a logical role. The <LogicalName> element represents the role that SCC checks for this mapping. There can only be one <LogicalName> per mapping. Do not modify this element.
  2. Set the LDAP group within the <MappedName> element. This element represents the group you wish to map to the logical role. You can include more than one <MappedName> element for a mapping.
    You can have the same <MappedName> element for two different <LogicalName> elements.
Here is an example of a mapping where the group "Administrators" maps to espAdminRole:
<Mapping>
<LogicalName>espAdminRole</LogicalName>
<MappedName>Administrators</MappedName>
</Mapping>
Here is an example of a mapping where several groups are mapped to espAdminRole:
<Mapping>
<LogicalName>espAdminRole</LogicalName>
<MappedName>IT</MappedName>
<MappedName>Developers</MappedName>
<MappedName>Operators</MappedName>
</Mapping>
