To bind to LDAP, Teradata Viewpoint authentication must know the DN of Joe Customer. When logging in, Joe presents a corporate username, which is usually part of the DN. Using the following DN as an example:
cn=<<USERNAME>>,dc=User Accounts,dc=acme,dc=com
- If the corporate username for Joe is joec and the username is in the DN, perform a DN pattern bind.
-
If the corporate username for Joe is customerjoe, which is the sAMAccountName attribute from the LDIF snippet below, the username is not in the DN.
dn: cn=joec,dc=User Accounts,dc=acme,dc=com cn: joec givenName: Joe sn: Customer telephoneNumber: +1 888 555 6789 telephoneNumber: +1 888 555 1232 mail: [joe.customer@acme|mailto:joe.customer@acme].com sAMAccountName: customerjoe objectClass: inetOrgPerson memberOf: cn=Sales,ou=Groups,dc=acme,dc=com memberOf: cn=DBA,ou=Groups,dc=acme,dc=com ...
- Search the LDAP tree for a user entry where the attribute matches the username value presented by Joe Customer. Proceed to the Number of Pattern Binds section.
