Integrating LDAP with Web Reports

There are two solutions for integrating LDAP with the Web Reports server.

These two solutions are mutually exclusive on Windows:

  • The first solution supports the integration of LDAP (both Tivoli Directory Server and Active Directory) with the Web Reports server running on both Windows and Linux systems. This is the default solution for new installations starting from V9.1.
  • The second solution supports the integration of Active Directory with the Web Reports server running on Windows only. It works only if the computer where the Web Reports server runs is joined to an AD Domain. This solution has been kept for compatibility with earlier versions.

When upgrading BigFix to V9.5, the Endpoint Manager 9.1 Active Directory solution is kept for compatibility with the existing environment. To switch to the LDAP solution see LDAP integration after Windows upgrade.
