    Savar:

    In Sterling Integrator we can run LDAP by adding the LDAP Authentication Configurations to the customer_overrides.properties file. Why isn’t something like this available for Control Center?

    In our Sterling B2B environments, we do not use SEAS. LDAP is used by adding LDAP Authentication Configurations to the customer_overrides.properties file.  Why isn't there something like this available for Control Center?

    Thank you for your input,

    At current the primary method of authenticating ICC and other B2B Collaboration products via LDAP is by using the SEAS functionality which includes SSO, LDAP and other features to synchronize across ICC and other B2B Collaboration products. Please feel free to follow up with a specific use case that is not met by leveraging SEAS
