Configuring TeamInspector

Set up LDAP authentication for TeamInspector users by modifying the configuration.properties file (located in the conf directory), and specifying the appropriate values for the following LDAP settings:

ldap_server: Name or address of the LDAP server in your environment containing the user entries against which your TeamInspector users will be validated.
ldap_port: Port number to use to connect to the LDAP server.
ldap_server_dn: Base object in the distinguished name hierarchy, such as a domain name.
ldap_manager_dn: LDAP user name to use for binding to the LDAP server.
ldap_manager_password: Password for the LDAP user bind account.
ldap_user_search_filter: Search string that will be used to locate user entries on the LDAP server during authentication, or leave the default entry if applicable (if you are using an LDAP system that supports Windows Active Directory).
ldap_user_search_timeout_in_millis: You can accept the default value of 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds) or enter a new value that is more appropriate for your environment. You must enter the value in milliseconds.

After updating these entries, save the file and restart the TeamInspector services. See Configuring LDAP Authentication in the online help for more detailed information.

Note: You must restart your TeamInspector services after modifying any configuration file or settings in TeamInspector.

If configuring on a Linux host, to customize your environment variable settings for TeamInspector, edit the env-settings.conf file, located in the conf directory. This file enables you to specify variables that are used exclusively by TeamInspector. The file provides sample entries that you can use to specify environment variables such as path statements that are used for build operations and required settings for configuring your SCM systems for use with TeamInspector.

Log on to TeamInspector using the TeamInspector Administrator account: tiadmin/tiadmin

Note: This is a super user account. We recommend changing the account password after completing these configuration steps. The password can be changed from the command line only. See Changing the TeamInspector Admin Password in the online help for instructions.

Create an Administrator user account using your LDAP credentials, or the LDAP credentials of the user who will be the TeamInspector administrator. You can use this account to perform administrative tasks, such as setting up projects which is required to create the build environment. You can also use this account to set up the TeamInspector users. See Setting Up Users in the online help for additional information.

Additional configuration is required to support the SCM systems that you plan to use for your builds and inspections in TeamInspector. See Configuring SCM Environment Settings in the online help for these requirements.

After you have completed these configuration tasks, you can log on and set up your TeamInspector build environment. For additional information about the setup tasks, see the Getting Started topics in the online help.
