Birt and Ldap

I have a Ldap server for Ldap.

Kindly suggest !!!

The commercial version does this easily. With the open source version you have to jump through quite a few hoops. You will be doing quite a bit of scripting. The BIRT Engine sites on top of a JVM, so you have access to the entire Java LDAP packages.

Thank you for the response. Can you please explain briefly as to how birt and ldap goes together or is there any example that I can look at. Thank you.

I don't believe there are any examples on DevShare. But, in theory, there are a couple of ways of doing this. Probably the easiest way would be to do this as a Java Servlet Filter. That opens quite a few ways to set these tokens and make them available to BIRT to use for authentication. It is also possible to do a JNDI lookup. You also have the option to do a straight LDAP lookup via either Java or Javascript in the beforeOpen event for the data source.
