Neoview User Management and Security Administration Guide (R2.5)

3. For each LDAP server with which the Neoview platform will communicate directly, configure
the server on the Neoview platform, as described in “LDAP Server Configuration on
Neoview” (page 67).
4. Add Neoview users to the external LDAP directory, as described in the documentation for
your directory server or client.
5. Register users on the Neoview platform, as described in “User and Role Management”
(page 95).
LDAP Directory Support
The Neoview security infrastructure could be used for integration with various LDAP
implementations but explicitly supports only integration with openLDAP-compliant directory
servers and Microsoft Active Directory.
Neoview openLDAP Integration
In the context of openLDAP integration, the Neoview LDAP daemon is a client of an openLDAP
server running on an external directory server. Neoview support for openLDAP integration
includes support for openLDAP referrals. Authorization groups are not supported: every LDAP
user requiring access to the Neoview database must be explicitly registered as a
remotely-authenticated database user on the Neoview platform, as described in “Managing
Database Users and Roles” (page 96).
Referrals
No special configuration is required on the Neoview platform to support openLDAP referrals.
Referrals are currently supported for directory search but not bind operations.
Neoview Active Directory Support
The Neoview platform supports integration with Microsoft Active Directory, including
implementations with multiple domains.
For support of multiple domains, you must explicitly configure a connection to the global catalog server
and to each domain controller, using interfaces described in “LDAP Server Configuration on Neoview”
(page 67).
