When adding an LDAP directory server to an existing Documentum installation, the users and groups defined in the LDAP directory server are given precedence. The user or group entry in the directory server matches a user or group in the repository, the repository information is overwritten by information in directory server in case synchronization type is set to full synchronization on Sync and Authentication tab.
To create a new LDAP configuration, you need the following information about the LDAP directory server:
The name of the host where the LDAP directory server is running
The port where the LDAP directory server is listening
The type of LDAP directory server
The binding distinguished name and password for accessing the LDAP directory server
The person and group object classes for the LDAP directory server
The person and group search bases
The person and group search filters
The Documentum attributes that you are mapping to the LDAP attributes
To add or modify an LDAP server configuration:
Navigate to Administration > Basic Configuration > LDAP Servers.
The system displays the LDAP Server Configuration page.
Do one of the following:
To add an LDAP server configuration, select File > New > LDAP Server Configuration.
To modify an LDAP server configuration, select the LDAP server configuration, then select View > Properties > Info.
Enter or modify the information on Info tab of the LDAP Server Configuration page, as described in LDAP Server Configuration properties.
Click the Sync & Authentication tab and enter or modify the information on the LDAP Server Configuration - Synch & Authentication page, as described in LDAP Server Sync & Authentication properties.

Content Server creates an ldap<objectID>.cnt password when you create the LDAP configuration object. If you have more than one Content Server associated with the repository, the password file must be copied to each Content Server in the environment or authentication fails.
