Introduction

Digital assets must only be managed by users authorised to do so.

DSpace can authenticate using ePerson accounts or using LDAP server accounts.

This wiki page describes the method of setting up DSpace to use an institutional LDAP server for user provisioning.

After that is done, it is then up to the repository manager to define privileges for individuals on the repository.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ldap for more info.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • For LDAP to work correctly then ALL the user credentials MUST be in ONE LDAP server or replicated using ONE directory tree structure.
  • If for example, you have seperate servers for staff and students, then LDAP authentication setup is extremely difficult and very risky to maintain in the long term.
