Problem:

Some users cannot login with LDAP authentication enabled.

Solution:

In the Teaming database "firstname" is a mandatory field. The eDirectory counterpart is "GivenName", this is not mandatory in eDirectory.

For all users to successfully login with LDAP to the Teaming they must have the following eDirectory attributes:

  • mail
  • givenName
  • sn

In Teaming these attributes are translated according to this table:

screenName=cn
password=userPassword
emailAddress=mail
firstName=givenName
lastName=sn
jobTitle=title
group=groupMembership

Environment:

Teaming 1.0 sp3
