TopBraid 5.3 LDAP Migration Procedure

Data Governance, Blog

Starting with TopBraid release 5.3, there is now a new structure for storing the LDAP configuration for EDG and EVN. The reason for the change is to allow for multiple LDAP configurations for large enterprises. See 5.3 Release Notes

  1. Make a copy of $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/edg/WEB-INF/web.xml where you can get it later.
  2. In the Server Configuration page of the Administrator pages, copy somewhere for reference and then remove the configuration parameters for LDAP.
  3. Delete $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/edg.war. If Hot Deploy is enabled, wait for Tomcat to remove the edg folder. If not, then manually remove the folder and its contents. Make sure that $TOMCAT_HOME/work/Catalina/[host-name]/edg and its contents have been removed.
  4. Copy _new_ edg.war into the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ directory and allow Tomcat to create the edg folder.
  5. Stop Tomcat.
  6. Copy the web.xml file saved from Step 1 into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/edg/WEB-INF/web.xml.
    Start Tomcat.
  7. In the Server Configuration page of the Administrator pages, re-enter the configuration parameters for LDAP.
