Documentum Renewal: Identity Management
Continuing my Christmas present to EMC. I’ve talked about Application Separation and the need to Focus on the Core. Now it is time to revisit a critical piece of the puzzle, Identity Management. This is not a new topic for me. One of my most popular posts this year is the Single Sign-On, SAML, and… Continue reading

A Letter to EMC About Federations
Dear EMC, Hey there. How are you doing? It was nice running into you at the AIIM Seminar last week. I’ve been trying to tell people that CenterStage is not intended to take SharePoint out as we discussed. People are listening, but only time will tell if it will matter. I want to talk to… Continue reading

Tip: Federations and Replicating LDAP Definitions
This was going to be part of my post, Documentum and LDAP, Time to Grow Up, but I decided to pull it out as a short post in the Tips section. Partly because I haven’t posted a Tip in a while, and partly because I think this deserves a little more attention. The issue? A… Continue reading

Documentum and LDAP, Time to Grow Up
[Edit: See Comments for details on the “Why” of the edits.] I’ve spent the last several weeks working on LDAP issues. Some have been simple, others, not so much.

Regardless of source, LDAP or local, when logging into a Documentum system, you have to match. If the login name is DmAdmin, you have to type “DmAdmin”. If you type “dmadmin”, no matter how often you get the password… Continue reading

Tips: Fixing LDAP Group Membership
Many of you probably saw my last post on LDAP. It was about forcing a synchronization of LDAP back to a specific date. My basic problem was that a small subset of users were being dropped from one of the LDAP groups within Documentum. We had removed and then added them again, and the re-synch… Continue reading

Single Sign-On, SAML, and Authentication in Documentum
I’ve been meaning to get back to this topic for quite some time. Before moving onto other Standards topics, I want to try and conclude this thread on SAML. James and I traded responses about authentication and SAML, and I applaud James for taking time to look into the capabilities of the DFC to respond… Continue reading

Tips: Forcing an LDAP Update in Documentum
I ran into a problem the other day and I thought I would share the solution. I have encountered it before elsewhere, and that means others have encountered it before as well. Before I dive into the problem, I just want to say something to James. When Bex wrote about ECM systems storing Content, not… Continue reading

Standardizing Authentication
Been a busy week on the ECM standards front. There has been a lot of discussions going around. I’ve been silent on the topic as I’ve been focusing on learning more about SAML and XACML so that I can respond to James’ question. Plus, the dialogs are going great and I haven’t needed to keep… Continue reading
