By default, the user registry is the local operating system registry.
If you prefer, use an external Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
as the user registry. In a network deployment environment you must use LDAP.
Why and when to perform this task
This task assumes that you have global security turned on.
Steps for this task
- Start WebSphere Process Server.
- Launch the administrative console.
- Open the LDAP User Registry configuration page.
Expand Security,
click Global security, and click LDAP under
the User Registries heading.
- Set the user name and password used to run WebSphere Process Server for
security purposes.
In the Server user ID field
type the user name, and in the Server user password field,
enter the corresponding password. Although this ID is not the LDAP administrator
user ID, however, the entry must exist in the LDAP.
- Choose the type of LDAP you are using.
From the Type list
choose the specific LDAP that you want to use as your user registry.
- Enter the name of the computer where the LDAP resides.
In
the Host field, enter the name of the server where
the LDAP resides.
- Enter the port number on which the LDAP listens.
In
the Port field, enter the port number on which the
LDAP server is listening.
- Enter the Base Distinguished Name.
This value specifies the base distinguished name of the directory
service, indicating the starting point for LDAP searches of the directory
service.
For authorization purposes, this field is case sensitive. This
specification implies that if a token is received (for example, from another
cell or Domino server) the base distinguished name (DN) in the server must
match the base DN from the other cell or Domino server exactly. If case sensitivity
is not a consideration for authorization, enable the Ignore case field.
This field is required for all LDAP directories except for the
Domino Directory, where this field is optional.
- Leave the remaining parameters with the default values and confirm
your changes.
Click OK.
