Configuring LDAP for Sametime Gateway
Configure Sametime® Gateway to use the LDAP directory used by the local Sametime environment. If you did not connect to LDAP when you installed Sametime Gateway, or you did connect to LDAP but now want to create a secure connection, use these procedures. Sametime Gateway must look up names and groups in the LDAP directory to grant users and groups access to external communities.
About this task
Note: The
use of an LDAP directory is not required for Sametime Gateway, but it
lets you implement an access control list (ACL) that controls which
users and groups can access, and be accessed from, external communities.
If you do not want to configure the use of an LDAP directory at this
time, you can skip the procedure. If you later decide to start using
an LDAP directory for Sametime Gateway,
you can configure the interaction at that time.
Be sure to read the first topic before setting up your LDAP directory:
