Reporting Software - LDAP Report Environment

InetSoft's reporting software allows users to configure LDAP report environment to increase the securirty of proprietary data. View the information below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

When using the iPlanet Directory Server, you must set up a base DN (Distinguished Name, e.g., dc=inetsoft, dc=com) for the company. In addition, you should configure the server by setting up access permissions for this DN. Finally a schema must be created to enable access to deployed reports (replets) via iPlanet.

Assuming that the iPlanet Directory Server is correctly installed and configured, you must next create a replet schema. To create the schema, follow these steps:

1. Start the iPlanet server console, expand the node under root that cor­responds to the DN, e.g., 'inetsoft' (in the left pane), then expand the node 'Server Group'.

2. Click on 'Directory Server' in the left pane, then click the 'Open' button in the right pane.

3. Open the Directory Server console, click the Configuration tab, and highlight the node 'schema' under the root of 'hostname.inetsoft:389', where 'hostname' is your machine name and 'inetsoft' is your DN.

4. In the right pane, select the Attributes tab.

5. To add a new attribute, click the 'Create' button on the bottom of the page.

6. Fill all mandatory fields in the pop up dialog titled 'Create Attribute' then click 'OK'.

7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to add all attributes listed in the Table below.

8. To add a new objectclass, select the Object classes tab at the top of the screen, then click the 'Create' button at the bottom of the screen.

9. In the 'Name' field, type “inetsoftreplet”, then select 'cn' from the 'Available' attributes list and move it to the 'Required' attributes list. Continue to move all attributes you created in Step 7 from the 'Avail­able' attributes list to the 'Required' attributes list, then click 'OK'

10. Go back to the Object classes tab. Object class 'inetsoftreplet' should be in the object classes list
