Here's some helpful information that a user of ours, Mark Pettigrew, shared with us.


 



1.) For Windows users that need to obtain their LDAP User Pattern or Active Directory User Base, run the following command:

 


whoami /FQDN


 


This will display the fully qualified domain name for the user that's currently logged in.  This information is entered when running the Collaborator installation for LDAP or AD authentication and is stored in the "<INSTALL_DIR>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml" file.


 





2.) If you're configuring LDAPS, use InstallCert.java to obtain the public certificates from the server to which you're establishing a secure connection.  Please refer to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3685548/java-keytool-easy-way-to-add-server-cert-from-url-port for more details.  If you have trouble compiling the Java file, you may download the binaries for InstallCert from http://miteff.com/install-cert.


 


Once it's installed, run the following command to kick it off:


 


java InstallCert <HOST:PORT>


 


 


We hope this information assists you with your installation.


 


Thanks,


John
