How to: Change the LDAP Bind Password in TeamForge

Question

How do I update the LDAP Bind password (root ID) in TeamForge? And does it require a Jboss restart to take effect?

Answer

LDAP can be configured in two ways in TeamForge:

1. ctf_authentication_manager

• An add-on for implementing LDAP in TeamForge.
• Any change in LDAP config using this add-on, should be made in this location in the TeamForge site: 'Look' Project > Auth_manager > Manage Existing Profile >> Select the current profile (usually marked with green icon) 
• Update the Bind Password in the above location and save the settings.
• It requires a Jboss restart to take effect

2. Native LDAP

• TeamForge Native LDAP without any add-on
• Any change in LDAP config using Native LDAP should be made in this location in Teamforge site: Admin > Identity > LDAP
• Update the Bind Password and save. Test the connection using the Test connection option.
• This change does not require Jboss restart; it takes effect immediately after saving the profile.
