Step 6: Set the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST

Enable LDAP authentication.

Procedure

Enable LDAP authentication by using the installutil setauthenticationalgorithm subcommand to change the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST. This causes Compass to search the database for a user profile record with a Login name field value that matches the user name entered in the logon window. If Compass finds a match and the user profile record is marked for Compass authentication, then traditional authentication is performed. If Compass finds a match and the user profile record is marked for LDAP authentication, or if Compass does not find a match, then Compass attempts to authenticate the user against LDAP.

Example
