If you have a multiple domain environment, configure LDAP
settings for federated repositories on the WebSphere® Application
Server to enable LDAP communication
between Workplace XT and Content Engine.
Important: If you are using federated repositories,
your WebSphere administrative
console user cannot have the same username or ID as a user in the
LDAP repository.
To configure LDAP for federated repositories:
- Open the WebSphere administrative
console.
- Navigate to the security settings page.

- Disable the following Security settings:
- Turn off (clear) the Enable Administrative Security flag.
- Turn off (clear) the Enable application security flag.
- Turn off (clear) the Use Java 2 security to restrict
application access to local resources flag.
- From the bottom of the panel, in the dropdown list called Available
realm definitions, select Federated Repositories and
click Configure.
- Configure the LDAP provider to exactly match the corresponding General
Properties on the Content Engine application

- Next to Available realm definitions,
ensure that Federated repositories is still

- Re-enable the following Security settings:
- Turn on (select) the Enable Administrative Security flag.

The IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform uses
LDAP-based security, and does not support Java™ 2 security. Enabling Java 2 security will cause unexpected behavior.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Test the connection on the Federated repositories page.
If the test fails, correct the error before proceeding. If it passes,
click OK to return to the previous page.
