Problem(Abstract) |
No groups are retrieved when trying to retrieve groups on
WebSphere® Application Server admin console:
Enterprise Applications > DefaultApplication.ear > Map security
roles to groups > Look up groups
The LDAP registry is configured with groups so it should retrieve the
valid groups and show that information on the admin console. However, no
groups are returned.
The following is logged in trace.log with security traces enabled:
LdapRegistryI 3 Number of groups returned = 0 |
|
|
|
Cause |
The reason for zero groups being returned was because
baseDN value specified in WebSphere security setting was incorrectly set.
The Base DN indicates the starting point for searches in this LDAP
directory server. In this particular case the groups were defined at a
higher level of the specified baseDN and as a result nothing was
returned. |
|
|
Resolving the
problem |
Modify the value of baseDN so it is above the defined
groups. |
