Configuring Other Third Party Software
This section describes the considerations and any additional configurations that
need to be performed on the third party software before installing ActiveMatrix

If you want to specify an external LDAP directory server then, before you install
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, you must:
• specify an LDAP username and password for the tibco-admin user, see below.
• ensure that the LDAP server is running.
Configuring the BPM Admin user (if using an external LDAP directory server)
This only applies if you decide to use an external LDAP directory server rather than the
internal LDAP directory server provided with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.
All users that access TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM must exist in an external LDAP
directory. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM requires a single user to be configured as the
tibco-admin user. When running the TIBCO Configuration Tool to configure
BPM, if you decide to use the internal LDAP directory server, the tibco-admin
user is created automatically.
If you decide to use an existing LDAP directory server, you are asked to specify
the full DN for an existing LDAP user and the password. This information defines
the real user when logging in as tibco-admin. The LDAP user must be an existing
LDAP user.

for the database you are using before you start installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix
BPM.
