How to Update / Modify the current LDAP Credentials in the E-Notebook

Note: These changes should be tested first on your TEST / DEV. Server and if it’s successful then move those changes on the PRODUCTION system and also make sure to take backup’s of all the files and folders that you are modifying so you could rollback if things do not work as expected.

This Solution will work on all versions of E-Notebook

If you are on a LOAD BALANCING environment, make sure to perform these steps in all the nodes on the balancing configuration.

• Login to your Application tire as an Admin and Navigate to the E-Notebook instalation folder.
• Navigate and copy the Oracleconfig.xml ( The default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\PerkinElmer\E-Notebook) file and save it on the Desktop as backup
• Navigate (The default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\PerkinElmer\E-Notebook\bin )and Open ENDNConfig.exe as a Admin
  1. Enter the New or Updated LDAP Username.
  2. Enter the Password
  3. Select the Oracleconfig.xml backup file (from Desktop) and click ok

Note: Make sure you input the password here without any mistakes. To ensure, enter the password more than once to see if the encrypted password strings are same in the OracleConfig.xml  file

Now, login to eln to verify the login is successful

If load balancer is in Use, then verify the changed LDAP authentication works on one server before making changes on the remaining servers.

Steps below:

• Navigate to xml file on one of the client machines

Login to E-Notebook, go to task manager, select enotebook from the process, right click and select open file location,

It will take You to a directory similar to below:

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\ZC2NR8LD.596\AEJ6KO37.391\enot..tion_6d1744e01ab2002f_0012.0001_929ccda2ecf6a418

• Go one level back to 391 and here you will find ENClientConfig.xml, if not search for it in Apps\2.0 folder.
• Select and edit the xml file:

From:

<WSDL>http://<LoadBalancerServer>/ENService/ENService.svc</WSDL>

To: 

<WSDL>http://<ENSERVER1>/ENService/ENService.svc</WSDL>

Where ENSERVER1 is the Name of the server where the ldap username/password is changed/modified.

Now,  attempt to login to E-Notebook  to verify, log in is successful and new users can be created successfully.

Note: Once tested, don’t forget to change the WSDL path to the loadbalancer name in the ENClientConfig.xml
