Standalone LDAP registry wizard settings
Use this security wizard page to provide the basic settings to connect the application server to an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry.
- Click Security > Global security.
- Under User account repository, click the Available realm definitions drop-down list, select Standalone LDAP registry, and click Configure.
Primary administrative user name
Specifies the name of a user with administrative privileges that is defined in your user registry.
Type of LDAP server
Specifies the type of LDAP server to which you connect.
IBM® SecureWay Directory Server is not supported.
Host
Specifies the host ID (IP address or domain name service (DNS) name) of the LDAP server.
Port
Specifies the host port of the LDAP server.
389
in a Version 6.1 and later
configuration, and a WebSphere Application Server at
Version 8.x is going to interoperate with the Version 6.1 and later server, verify that port
389
is specified explicitly for the Version 8.x server. Information | Value |
---|---|
Default: | 389 |
Type: | Integer |
Base distinguished name (DN)
Specifies the base distinguished name (DN) of the directory service, which indicates the starting point for LDAP searches of the directory service. In most cases, bind DN and bind password are needed. However, when anonymous bind can satisfy all of the required functions, bind DN and bind password are not needed.
For example, for a user with a DN of cn=John Doe , ou=Rochester, o=IBM, c=US, specify the Base DN as any of the following options: ou=Rochester, o=IBM, c=US or o=IBM, c=US or c=US. For authorization purposes, this field is case sensitive. This specification implies that if a token is received, for example, from another cell or Lotus® Domino®, the base DN in the server must match the base DN from the other cell or Lotus Domino server exactly.
Bind distinguished name (DN)
Specifies the DN for the application server to use when binding to the directory service.
If no name is specified, the application server binds anonymously. See the Base distinguished name (DN) field description for examples of distinguished names.
Bind password
Specifies the password for the application server to use when binding to the directory service.
