Problem |
When an LDAP server returns a referral back to an
application over a port other than 389 (The default LDAP port), such as
636 (The default SSL LDAP port), WebSphere always changes the port to 389.
WebSphere Security does not currently support LDAP referrals. They could
be used by an application, but that application would need to be written
to handle them.
An LDAP referral is basically the location of a remote LDAP server where
the user we queried for is located (hostname.domain.com:port) |

Cause |
Defect in the SUN JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.1. This is fixed by
SUN BUG id 4639896 in the 1.4.2 JDK. |
|
Solution |
Fix cannot be backported to 1.3.1 or 1.4.1 JDK. Customer
would have to use 1.4.2 JDK in order to use LDAP referrals with
WebSphere. |
