Hello.
I have recently finished installing my new OMS Cloud 12.1.0.3 on Linux 6.4 (on a VM).
My question is if it is possible (and how) to allow authentication for new OMS administrator accounts through LDAP?
We already have our VM hosts configured to allow LDAP authentication to the them, but how do I configure OMS to be able to allow the same LDAP authentication as the server users? Since the users are in LDAP, they do not have a local account on the servers, and we don't necessarily want the OMS users to be able to logon the servers anyway.
One of the objectives to use LDAP is that we want to allow users to only have to change their domain/LDAP password and everything else is updated.
I see that when an account is created in OMS, the user is created in the OMS repository database. I actually would like to restrict them from logging directly into the database, but not sure how that can be done. Can we still use pupbld for that? Probably not....
I read the paper below from Oracle docs, but it is for OMS 11.1 and I am running 12.1.
But even at that, it is not very descriptive for how to set it up.
It almost sounds as if you have to make the decision to use LDAP from the beginning installation of the OMS.
I hope not, and I don't recall that as an option as I installed the OMS.
