Authentication Provider Setup

1Spatial Management Suite is a secured system using an LDAP server to provide the authentication. The services that make up 1Spatial Management Suite need to connect to the LDAP server using authentication providers.

The authentication providers can be set up directly in WebLogic, however you can also use the 1SMS Installation Wizard.

Note: In order to install 1SMS in an environment secured by SSL, you must ensure that the server's certificate(s) are added to the cacerts trust store for the Java version used when WebLogic was installed. This may not be the same as the Java version that is running the installer or the Java running the WebLogic domain. If you are unsure which Java this will be, check the commEnv script found in the oracle_common\common\bin directory in the WebLogic installation.

The settings below are standard settings required to access an LDAP server. Please consult with your IT department for details of your organisation's LDAP server.

   • Protocol - The protocol used for the server (choose "t3" for unsecured, or "t3s" for secured)

     Note: If you are using a secured t3s connection, ensure you have installed the certificate in the cacerts trust store for the Java version used to run the installer (as well as the cacerts trust store for the Java version used when WebLogic was installed).

   • Host - The domain host

   • Port - The WebLogic application server port

   • Username - The WebLogic administrator username

   • Password - The WebLogic administrator password

   Click Save Cfg to save the configuration for later use, or click Install to add the server to the list of installer servers.
