DevOps Plan Schema API support for LDAP authentication

DevOps Plan 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 DevOps Plan Schema API is available:
  • Allow traditional DevOps Plan authentication or a mix of DevOps Plan 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 DevOps Plan.
  • Perl APIs for setting the authentication mode of individual DevOps Plan user accounts and to support LDAP-enabled DevOps Plan users.
Note: Both LDAP and DevOps Plan enabled authentication are supported in the same database set. See Retrieving user login information for information on retrieving user login information using DevOps Plan Schema API methods that support DevOps Plan user names and LDAP login names.
