Enable Connection to Active Directory

In order to enable the use of Active Directory you need to create a configuration file defining how to connect to Active Directory, and deploy it together with the Content Store as follows:

1. Login as escenic on your assembly-host (see the CUE Content Store Installation Guide for an explanation of this term).

2. Go to the location of the assembly tool's classes folder:

   $ cd /opt/escenic/assemblytool/classes/

3. Create a new directory structure:

   $ mkdir -p com/escenic/jaas

4. Create a new file named shiro.conf in the new directory and open it in an editor. Enter the following configuration settings:

   [main]
   activeDirectoryRealm = org.apache.shiro.realm.activedirectory.ActiveDirectoryRealm
   activeDirectoryRealm.url=ldap://my_server:3268/
   activeDirectoryRealm.searchBase=dc=my,dc=company
   activeDirectoryRealm.systemUsername=my_username
   activeDirectoryRealm.systemPassword=my_password

   Set the parameters to match your Active Directory set up:

   activeDirectoryRealm.url

   The URL of your Active Directory server.

   activeDirectoryRealm.searchBase

   The base dn of your Active Directory.

   activeDirectoryRealm.systemUsername

   The user name to use when connection to Active Directory.

   activeDirectoryRealm.systemPassword

   The password to use when connecting to Active Directory.

5. Save the file and build a new ear file by entering:

   $ ece clean assemble

6. Deploy the ear file to your engine-hosts.
