Creating an LDAP connection

To synchronize an RBAC user database with an LDAP-based user registry, you must establish a connection with an LDAP server.

For information about modifying LDAP connections, see Modifying LDAP connections.

Before you begin

Obtain the certificate needed to secure the connection between the Application Server and the LDAP server. For more information about obtaining this certificate, see Obtaining a certificate used to trust the LDAP server.

2. Create a new LDAP connection by right-clicking and selecting New > LDAP Connection.
   The New Connection wizard appears.
3. Provide information for the LDAP connection, as described in the following topics:
   • LDAP Connection - General
