Hi All, Environment: ARSystem 6.3 Patch 20,HPUX 11i,Oracle 9i currently using ARSystem authentication
We are planning to implement the LDAP plugins (both AREA and ARDBC) to connect to the corporate Novell eDirectory (Recent Version - tbc), running on separate hardware. Our eDirectory team are keen to understand the logic behind the supplied plug-ins i.e what specific function calls, does it use when interacting with eDirectory, and what attributes does it interact with? e.g. Does it increment the Bad Password counter attribute? In my experience Yes, but I would have thought this was centrally managed by eDirectory Does it update the last logged on attribute? Don't know but suspect this again is centrally managed by eDirectory Does it implement password history? Don't know but suspect this again is centrally managed by eDirectory Setting-up the integration should be OK, completed it before elsewhere however never had anyone ask me this before. The documentation provided in the guides/knowledge base are all very ARSystem centric - does anyone have a listing of the LDAP attributes that Remedy supplied AREA plugin updates if any? In the case of the ARDBC plug-in for look-ups we are planning simply to look-up data so that account will only need read-only access. The other thing the eDirectory team has tried to push us towards is to use the Novell supplied API - has anyoneelse tried this with ARSystem - was it easy to implement or difficult. Any information appreciated.
