LDAP configuration information is stored out in the [main] section of the JOC Cockpit's shiro.ini file, whose overall configuration is described in the Authentication and Authorization - Configuration article. A general introduction to authentication and authorization with JOC Cockpit is provided with the JOC Cockpit - Authentication and Authorization article.

LDAP configuration can only be edited by system administrators using a text editor to update the shiro.ini file. There is no web-based editing feature available.

A restart of JOC Cockpit is not required after changing changes are made to the shiro.ini configuration file either by using the JOC Cockpit Account Manager or a text editor.

• Automatic import and backup functions for the authentication and authorization information are available. Both the import and backup functions use Shiro files and are triggered by :
  • The import function automatically imports a file named shiro.ini to the Reporting database and the contents of this file will overwrite the authentication and authorization information in the Reporting database.
  • The backup function automatically stores the authentication and authorization information in a file named shiro.ini.active. At the same time an existing shiro.ini.active file will be renamed shiro.ini.backup and any already existing file with that name will be overwritten.
