Setting up WebSphere Application Server security is the same for
the production and test environments. When using the test environment, however,
the Administrative Console must be enabled.
- In the Server Configuration view, double-click the server configuration.
- Click the Configuration tab and check Enable
administration console.
- Save the configuration and restart the server.
- In a browser window, enter http://localhost:9090/admin to open
the WAS Administrative Console.
- Expand and click LDAP to
open the LDAP Security Configuration page to update
the security settings for LDAP. This example uses LDAP, which
is required for implementing single signon. If you select the OS/400 registry,
authentication is performed using user profiles on your iSeries system.
- Enter the following values for LDAP security:
- Server User ID - enter a user ID registered for LDAP that WAS will
use to access the LDAP server
- Server User Password - enter the password
- Type - select SecureWay
- Host - enter the host name. This is the host name that WebSphere
Application Server will use when connecting to LDAP. You should use the full
domain name.
- Port - use the default port of 389
- Base Distinguished Name (DN) - enter the base distinguished name
of the directory service. (For example, dc=myhostname, dc=mycompany, dc=com.)
This indicates the starting point when LDAP searches the directory service.
- Check Ignore Case.

- Click OK to apply the updates. The Global
Security page is displayed.
- Check Enabled and uncheck Enforce
Java 2 Security.
- Specify LDAP for the Active User
Registry and click OK.

- Save the changes and close the WAS Administrative Console.
- Restart the server.
