We are using TIBCO EAI in x86 Sun hosts running Solaris. We need LDAP and Tuxedo TIBCO adapters, but we are not able to find these adapters for Solaris on x86. Do you know about any TIBCO adapter for LDAP and Tuxedo, deployed for Solaris on x86 platforms?
Have you triedto use the LDAP client included with Solaris? Usually, it works with most LDAP (and even Active Directory) serversout there. If TIBCOacts as LDAP server (and adheres to LDAP [protocol]) you should be able to do so.
Try using 'ldapsearch' from Solaris to query your LDAP server. Look into man page ldapsearch(1) to learn more.
The 'ldapsearch' is useful as a command line tool, but not realy appropiate for application integration, using TIBCO EAI as the integration software. TIBCO adaptors are the software pieces that translate native TIBCO language into the language that speaks the integrated application, so they are needed and cannot be replaced by standard clients.
I've suggested touse ldapsearch to verify that LDAP connection and queries work with your TIBCO server. Finally, you would set up LDAP client on Solaris to be used for authentication and everything else you might need.
Setting up LDAP clientfor authentication is as easy as addind the keyword "ldap" to the line starting with "passwd:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf
I'm looking for specific TIBCO software called adaptor, that is used by TIBCO to perform the integration with external applications. Standard clients are not valid, as they are not able to speak TIBCO language.
You should check with your TIBCO vendor first as there are many pre-built adapters for different purposes and operation systems available off-the-shelf.
