Adding multiple baseDN's to allow users for Single Sign on

IBM i allows only one baseDN for users to use Single Sign on . Requesting IBM development team to have enable multiple baseDN , so the users with different Organization unit (OU) can be added to baseDN to allow all users use Single sign on

    I think it is a real shame IBM i does not support this out of the box. Most large organizations will likely have more than one base DN value. That means only limited Active Directory users can use SSO against IBM i.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.

    Hello Team .

    file admin-cust.xml which is needed to allow Kerberos on IBM i inavigator .

    To modify that file we use below script where we key in the baseDN value . Here we can not have more than one OU(Organisation unit ) . I have opened the case with IBM ,they informed to open up Idea to enable multiple OU (Organisation unit ).


    cd /qibm/proddata/os400/navigator

    configureNav.sh

    Please input the Kerberos information!

    baseDN: -->

    OU=Cognizant,OU=GannettUsers,DC=us,DC=ad,DC=gannett,DC=com


    Since My user account has OU -->Cognizant , many user will have their different OU depends on their location/role.

    We are not clear on exactly what support you are asking for. What interface would need changing? An example of how the change would be used, with the expected interface change would be helpful.
