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.
Why and when to perform this task
This task assumes that you have global security switched on.
Steps for this task
- Start WebSphere Process Server.
- Launch the administrative console.
- Bring up the LDAP User Registry configuration page.
Expand Security,
click Global security, 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
enter the user name and in the Server user password enter
the corresponding password. This ID is not the LDAP administrator user ID.
The entry should exist in the LDAP.
- Choose the type of LDAP you are using.
From the Type list
choose the specific LDAP that you wish to use as your user registry.
- Enter the name of the machine 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.
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) the
base 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 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (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.
