Configuring an LDAP server adapter

The LDAP adapter is configured using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console or the wsadmin commands. See your WebSphere administrative console documentation. If you need to modify this configuration, you can manually edit the wimconfig.xml file, although this is not the preferred method.

The following code sample is an example of a basic wimconfig.xml file that has been configured to use the LDAP server LDAP1. You can modify the appropriate values that are shown in italic.
Note: The suffixes need to already exist in the LDAP server before you can configure the LDAP repository adapter.
    <config:repositories xsi:type="config:LdapRepositoryType" id="LDAP1" supportPaging="true"
        supportSorting="true" ldapServerType="IDS51">
