This document describes how to initialize and configure the AS/400 LDAP connector into an existing One Identity Manager system. This enables a One Identity Manager system to access, read, and update data stored on an AS/400 system.
NOTE: Although the AS/400 system has been given more recent names, such as iSeries and System i, it will be referred to as AS/400 throughout this document.
The AS/400 computer must have IBM AS/400 Directory Services installed and configured.
A service account must be created on your AS/400 server that has the appropriate permissions to administer users and groups on this platform:
Security administrator (*SECADM) special authority rights
Object management (*OBJMGT) rights over the user profile accounts that are to be managed
Use (*USE) rights over the user profile accounts that are to be managed
Service account set up as a projected user
NOTE: Before attempting to connect to the AS/400 Directory Services LDAP server with the One Identity Manager connector, first check that the LDAP server is running correctly. This can be tested with any LDAP browser, for example, the LDP.exe tool from Microsoft. For more information, see your LDAP browser documentation.
The AS/400 LDAP connector has been verified for synchronization against os-400 V7R1 or later.
NOTE: The following sequence describes how you configure a synchronization project if the Synchronization Editor is in expert mode.
