Community Component

Community Component is an ACI server. For details of changes that affect all ACI servers, see ACI Server Framework.

24.2.0

New Features

  • You can now use Community to authenticate with OpenText Directory Services (OTDS). In particular, it can verify a login token and the user name present in that token. You configure the OTDS library (uas_otdssecurity.dll) as a security repository in the same way as other repositories. To connect to the OTDS server, set OTDSHost and OTDSPort, and SSLConfigOTDS if required. For example

    [OTDS] 
    library=uas_otdssecurity
    OTDSHost=<IP address>
    OTDSPort=8443
    EnableLogging=TRUE
    SSLConfigOTDS=SSLSettings
    
    [SSLConfig]
    SSLMethod=Negotiate

    You can then send user actions with the DeferLogin parameter set to True, setting UserName to the OTDS user name, Password to the token for that user, and ResourceID to the resource that you specified as the scope when you request the token.

    action=UserRead&repository=OTDS&username=<username>&password=<token>&resourceid=<resourceid>&deferlogin=true

    For more information, refer to the IDOL Community Component Help.
