Modify directory access

To modify how the IBM^® Telephone Directory V5.2 application is accessed by users, use the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 administrator pages.

1. Access the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 administrator pages by entering the following URL in your Web browser:

   http://your.server.name:port/ibm-bizApps/welcome/admin.do

   where your.server.name is the name of the server where IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 is installed and port is the port number that was specified during installation.

2. Click IBM Telephone Directory.
3. Click the Application Properties tab.
4. In the Directory access field, select the appropriate option in the drop-down list.
   • Anonymous (no login) - Select this option if you want any user to be able to search the directory but also want to prevent the user from logging into the application. When this option is chosen, directory search requests are always performed under anonymous user authority, and users are not able to log into the application to update or delete entries, manage their EIM identity associations, or use Sametime^® functions. The Allow users to update and delete entries, EIM registration and identity mapping, Sametime chat links, and Sametime buddy list support options are not available when this option is selected.
   • Login Enabled - Select this option if you want any user to be able to search the directory, and allow them to log into the application using their user ID and password for other application options. When this option is chosen, directory search requests are performed under anonymous user authority (like the Anonymous option), but users are able to log into the application to update or delete entries, manage their EIM identity associations, or use Sametime functions (if enabled). The Allow users to update and delete entries, EIM registration and identity mapping, Sametime chat links, and Sametime buddy list support options are available when this option is selected.
   • Login Required - Select this option if you want to require users to log in before they can use the application. When this option is chosen, directory search requests are always performed under the user's authority. Users that do not provide a valid user ID and password are not able to search the directory and cannot use any of the other optional functions in the application. The Allow users to update and delete entries, EIM registration and identity mapping, Sametime chat links, and Sametime buddy list support options are available when this option is selected.
