Identity Service

An identity service provides a way for a BPEL process to look up users and groups in an enterprise directory service. The ActiveBPEL Server identity service is based on file-based support.

By providing the communication details for look-up access to your directory service, you can do the following:

Any BPEL process that implements identity-based activities imports the WSDL provided with the ActiveBPEL Designer product. The name of the WSDL is identity.wsdl. Refer to the ActiveBPEL Designer documentation for details about this WSDL.

View and update identity service settings as shown in the following table.

Provider Configuration

Enable

Add a checkmark to use the identity service. Initially the service is disabled since it is not configured and ready for use. Configure the remaining settings, and then enable the service.

Provider Type

Select from the drop-down list:

  • LDIF. (LDAP Data Interchange Format). A file-based service representing (LDAP) directory content.
  • XML File. A file-based service, such as the entries found in tomcat-users.xml file.

Be sure to see the Notes below table.

File location on server

This field is displayed only for LDIF or XML File.

Do one of the following:

  • For an LDIF provider, provide a path to your .LDIF file. (See Notes below table.)
  • For a provider based on XML user entries, provide a path to your file. (See Notes below table.)

Notes:

Testing the Current Configuration

Enter a user name and select Test Settings.

If your settings are correct, you will see a success message.

If an error occurs, there may be helpful information for connection, security, or possibly an incorrect setting.

When your settings are correct, select Update.
