Using BMC Defender LDAP Tool Kit
The LDAP interface tool kit extends the range of BMC Defender to allow easy access to the registered and official user information of the enterprise. Your information is stored on the system and is available from various BMC Defender screens to display.
Although the software does not provide any direct correlation functions, you can compose Custom Alert scripts (and other software, such as Correlation Actions) that access the local LDAP server data and perform user defined correlation, such as capturing the counts for groups of users with certain common LDAP parameters (such as the same group or domain).
Additionally, the LDAP toolkit incorporates several features to work with the user discovery process of the server and limit the list of users to those defined in the LDAP file. Also, the operator can get a list of users that are not currently defined in the LDAP listing, assisting in the management and maintenance of the user list.
