QuestionQ4

Configuration

In IBM FileNet P8 / Content Platform Engine, which directory service unique identifier serves as the bind user that is specified by the application server?

  • A cpe_system_user
  • B gcd_admin_user
  • C cpe_service_user
  • D cpe_bootstrap_admin
Explanation

IBM FileNet P8 documentation states that the Content Platform Engine application server uses the directory service bind account, referred to by the identifier cpe_service_user, to bind to the directory server (LDAP/Active Directory/etc.). This account's fully qualified Distinguished Name is entered as the bind DN when configuring the directory service connection through Configuration Manager or the Directory Configuration Wizard, and the application server (e.g., WebSphere, WebLogic, JBoss) uses these credentials to establish its LDAP connection. This is distinct from cpe_system_user (used for internal FileNetEngine service tasks), gcd_admin_user (granted Full Control on the FileNet P8 domain object for GCD administration), and cpe_bootstrap_admin (used only for the initial bootstrap of the Content Engine EAR file).
