Configure Publisher to Use an LDAP Provider for Authentication and Authorization

Publisher can be integrated with the LDAP provider to manage users and report access.

Create the users and roles within the LDAP server, then configure the Publisher server to access the LDAP server.

In the Publisher security center module, assign folders to those roles. When users log in to the server, they have access to those folders and reports assigned to the LDAP roles.

Integrating the Publisher with Oracle LDAP consists of three main tasks:

  1. Set up users and roles in the LDAP provider
  2. Configure Publisherr to recognize the LDAP server
  3. Assign catalog permissions and data access to roles
