Re: OTM and LDAP (OID)

Hello,

the GLUSER is the G-Log (OTM) UserID, in the form of DOMAIN.USERNAME -- for instance GUIEST.ADMIN or COMPANY.LOUISE.

Just a little advice as you start looking itno this, I'd highly recommend using SSO (single sign-on) instead of the LDAP integration. With LDAP, you need to keep two copies of the OTM user's password - one in OTM and one in your LDAP directory and they must always be in sync. Instead, with SSO, you just keep the password in your SSO's repository and OTM simply accepts the userID passed to it, without doing it's own authentication. OTM's security remains intact and it's much easier to use.
