Non-OS Users using external-source
Options
Hey All,
I'll just start off by saying that for reasons beyond my control or complete understanding, I've been asked to see if I can get TeamSite to run with users that are not sourced in the OS, AD or LDAP.
I've been trying to figure out how to use non-OS users stored in an external source and configured with user_databases.xml. According to the Admin guide and even Sunil Menon's post on this thread there's some concept of "URL interface based non-OS user management" but I can't find any documentation stating how to use this feature. I've configured my user_databases.xml file as per the doc and iwtrace.log reports "User database enabled", but that's about all the change I get out of TeamSite... I can't add users other than OS users from the Administration tab in TeamSite, I can't log in as any user that TeamSite doesn't know about, and my URL script never reports being accessed in the slightest bit.
Has anybody used this external-source feature before, or seen any documentation around how to use it?
Thanks,
Rick

Hello all!
TS 6.7.2.
LS 3.1.0.
Red Hat (server name is morfeo2)
I am trying to configure an external-source to get users from a database. I have seen in the example, that a cgi file (using perl) is used. Could be possible to use a JSP file instead of cgi?
I attach the user_databases.xml and the JSP files I have used to make an attempt that doesn't work.0 -
Quick question:
Where is this JSP hosted ? Teamsite server or some other server ?
are you able to hit this JSP directly and getting the output ?
check the access.log on server ...
Thanks
