Re: Alias login in Remedy 7.5. patch 3
Thanks Fred! One question, So no password to LDAP? From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 10:32 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Alias login in Remedy 7.5. patch 3 ** --> The way it was described to me (way back when) was A person enters their login information (field 101 data and password) on the login screen. During the validation process if LDAP is enabled and field 117 is on the User form and has data the server will send the field 117 data instead of the field 101 data to the LDAP server for authentication.

This field will only be used to authenticate login and then use 'Login Name' (field id 101) for process. Does anyone have this working? We are setting up to authenticate through LDAP and I am using the 'Alias' to login. The Login Name is never being used. I've even tried to assign a temp field to 'Login Name' field, but this comes back empty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Alias login in Remedy 7.5. patch 3
Danny, Thank you for replying so quick! If I use filed 117 to authenticate from ldap, then what about the password being sent to ldap server? In documentation it states to remove the entry in the password field..

Example: My AR System login name might be Danny. My domain account is dkellett. So if you setup your AREA LDAP to use something like samaccountname=$\USER$ Then when you run the user tool and enter Danny, the AR system looks at your user record and if there is anything in field 117, it then passes that onto the AREA LDAP for authentication. So, make sure you have AREA LDAP setup correctly first. You can use some LDAP/AD query tool, we use this one, http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/downloads/ldp.exe to see what your repository. To track what the AR System is sending to LDAP, turn on arplugin logging to ALL and you can see the entries.
