Use this guide along with the Data Tab Configuration guide to configure a Tivoli Directory-integrated SecureAuth IdP realm.

  • An on-premises Tivoli Directory data store
  • A service account with read access (and optional write access) for SecureAuth IdP

Datastore Type

1. Select Tivoli Directory from the Type dropdown

Datastore Connection

2. Provide the Domain of the data store

3. Click Generate LDAP Connection String, and the Connection String will auto-populate

4. Select True from the Anonymous LookUp dropdown if the directory can be searched without supplying the username

Select False if the username must be supplied to search the directory

5. Select the type of Connection Mode to be used from the dropdown

  • Secure: Enable a secure LDAP connection on Port 389, using NTLMv2.

  • SSL: Enable a secure connection on Port 636, but uses Secure Socket Layer technology, which relies on certificates.
  • Standard: Enable a standard LDAP connection on Port 389 that uses basic authentication (plain text).

Datastore Credentials

If using CyberArk Vault for credentials, enable Use CyberArk Vault for credentials and follow the steps in CyberArk Password Vault Server and AIM Integration with SecureAuth IdP

With this feature, steps 6 and 7 are not required

6. Provide the SecureAuth IdP Service Account username in the Distinguished Name (DN) format, e.g. cn=svc-account,DC=directory,DC=domain

7. Provide the Password that is associated with the Service Account

Search Filter

8. Provide the Search Attribute to be used to search for the user's account in the directory, e.g. uid

9. Click Generate Search Filter, and the searchFilter will auto-populate

The value that equals %v is what the end-user will provide on the login page, so if it is different from the Search Attribute, change it here

For example, if the Search Attribute is uid, but end-users will log in with their email addresses (field= mail), the searchFilter would be (&(mail=%v)(objectclass=inetOrgPerson))

Group Permissions

10. Select True from the Advanced AD User Check to check for more information than just the username, such as if the account is locked

11. Select Search from the Validate User Type dropdown if SecureAuth IdP is to use the search function to find a username and password

Select Bind if SecureAuth IdP is to make a direct call to the directory to validate the username and password

12. Select Allow Access from the User Group Check Type to create a list of allowed user groups; select Deny Access to create a list of denied user groups

13. Provide the allowed or denied User Groups based on the selection in step 12, e.g. Admins

Leave this field blank if there is no access restriction

14. Check Include Nested Groups if the subgroups from the listed User Groups are to be allowed or denied access as well

15. Provide the Groups Field that contains users' groups, e.g. memberOf

16. Set the Max Invalid Password Attempts before a user's account is locked

17. Click Test Connection to ensure that the integration is successful
