HCL Compass API support for LDAP authentication

Beginning in version 2003.06.15, HCL Compass supports LDAP authentication. Some existing APIs (of the AdminSession and User objects) were enhanced to function with LDAP enabled authentication. The following LDAP authentication support using the HCL Compass API is available:

• Allow traditional HCL Compass authentication or a mix of HCL Compass and LDAP authentication types for a schema repository.
• Specify LDAP configuration information for the clan as a whole, but allow per site specification of any needed LDAP information such as site specific LDAP server locations
• Use a command line utility, installutil, to configure the LDAP configuration information for the database set. For more information, see Using LDAP with HCL Compass.
• Perl and VBScript APIs for setting the authentication mode of individual HCL Compass user accounts and to support LDAP-enabled HCL Compass users.
