5.6.14Users LDAP Authentication through Virtual Member Management

You can authenticate users against LDAP using Windows Server Active Directory. If your organization has Virtual Member Management in place, consider using it to perform your authentication. When you configure the application server to authenticate against an ActiveDirectory, you create and manage users in the LDAP directory server.

The VMMcron task updates the Maximo database when users, groups, and group membership are changed in the directory server. When users and groups are deleted from the Active Directory, they are not deleted from the Maximo database because these records might be needed for auditing purposes. You can also configure the system to populate person, user, and group information from the external directory. The system currently supports synchronization of information from Microsoft Active Directory. Synchronization with other directories is possible, but is not supported as a standard feature and might require programming to configure. Both BEA WebLogic Server and IBM WebSphere Application Server support authentication against Windows Server Active Directory.
