Determine which LDAP attribute or attributes you want people to use to log in to IBM Lotus Connections.

Single LDAP attribute with a single value

For example:

uid=jsmith

Multiple LDAP attributes, each with a single value

To specify multiple attributes, separate them with a semicolon when you enter them in the Login properties field, while adding the repository to IBM WebSphere Application Server.

For example, where...

uid=jsmith
mail=jsmith@example.com

..you would enter...

uid; mail

Single LDAP attribute with multiple values

For example, mail is the login attribute and it accepts two different e-mail addresses:

• intranet address
• extranet address

For example:

uid=jsmith
uid=john_smith

To use multivalued attributes, ensure that the Profiles services extension is enabled after you install Lotus Connections. This option is automatically enabled during installation if you chose the option to use the Profiles database when searching for users.

Multiple LDAP attributes, each with multiple values

For example:

uid=jsmith

..or...

uid=john_smith and mail=jsmith@example.com

..or...

mail=john_smith@example.com

..or...

mail=jsmith@<MyISP>.com

Multiple LDAP directories

For example: One LDAP uses uid as the login attribute and the other uses mail. You must repeat the steps in Setting up federated repositories for each LDAP
