We are building a new TSM installation for a client and I have been asked if TSM can use LDAP to authenticate the admin userids. They
don't want to have to maintain a separate userid/password mechanism just for the TSM servers if they can avoid it. I have never seen anything that leads me to believe this is possible, but I've also never seen anything that says it isn't. Unfortunately, searches for keywords like "ldap" in the list archives and support site results in many, many hits on how to back up ldap, but not on how or whether to use it. Does anyone know if this can be done? The only alternative I have so far is some sort of scripted mechanism to regularly pull data from ldap and update TSM. This is on TSM 5.2.3, on Solaris9.
