Overview

iWay Business Activity Monitor (BAM) is hosted on the non-blocking HTTP (nHTTP) listener. As a result, iWay BAM can take full advantage of authentication realms configured through iWay Service Manager (iSM). Authentication realms enable remote user authentication against an external system such as Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

This section describes how to configure user authentication for iWay BAM using LDAP. The following steps are required in this configuration process:

  1. Creating an LDAP Directory Provider to establish a link to the LDAP system.

    For more information, see Creating an LDAP Directory Provider.

  2. Creating an LDAP authentication realm to enable authentication against LDAP.

    For more information, see Creating an LDAP Authentication Realm.

  3. Mapping LDAP roles to iWay BAM roles.

    For more information, see Mapping LDAP Roles to iWay BAM Roles.

  4. Enabling iWay BAM authentication through the authentication realm.

    For more information, see Enabling iWay BAM Authentication Through an Authentication Realm.
