Authentication to DataStage

Hi,

Can we give LDAP authentication/security to DataStage jobs or is it possible to give any authentication with Active Directory. As of now, I know we have the OS level Authentication. Please advise and I appreciate the repsonse.

Thanks,
Lalitha

I donot think that any other type of authentication can be given for datastage. It has to be at an OS level.
Correct me guys if I am wrong at this!

We can assign LDAP users to a group and assign this group to DataStage group to access the jobs.

Probably true for a Windows based server installation, but how about UNIX?

We need to install the LDAP client and servers on the AIX box and configure the system to accept the LDAP users which we currently working upon.
Will post you all once we are successful.

Thanks,
