For each JNDI Adapter that is copied to the target system, the following configurations are automated:
• The JNDI adapter is created and configured on the target system.
• A repository definition is created (if one exists on the source system) that informs Windchill how to query and manage information in the directory.
• The wt.properties file is modified to identify the directory in Windchill.
• The MapCredentials.xml file is modified to set administrative access control privileges for the directory.
The HTTP Server configuration must be updated post-upgrade to configure the Web Server to authenticate against the search base of the additional JNDI adapters. For more information, see Post-Upgrade Steps for Additional JNDI Adapters.
