Installing the JNDI Adapter
The JNDI adapter is a bundled component and is installed alongside Info*Engine when you install Windchill. When you perform a standard Windchill installation, these components are located in the following directory:
<Windchill>/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/ieWeb.jar
where <Windchill> is the Windchill installation directory.
 |
The JNDI adapter classes are automatically used by Info*Engine to access the Info*Engine component LDAP entries stored in the Windchill Directory Server. No additional configuration is necessary.
|
To use the JNDI adapter to access other information stored in the Windchill Directory Server or other naming or directory systems, create an LDAP entry for the JNDI adapter that provides access to that system.
The JNDI adapter uses the following JAR files:
ieWeb.jar
servlet.jar
ldap.jar
providerutil.jar
CommonCoreMeta.jar
ie.properties File Location and Contents
When you install Windchill, the ie.properties file is created and is located in the codebase/WEB-INF directory where Windchill is installed. This file contains a reference to the LDAP branch that contains the Info*Engine properties as well as validation information to ensure that the services can access the LDAP directory.
The installation generates the contents of the ie.properties file based on the values that were entered when Windchill was installed. For more information, see About the ie.properties File.
