You can configure Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to be the directory service for FileNet® P8.
Server Side Sorting (SSS) must be enabled. This is because FileNet P8 components call on Content Platform Engine to perform searches using a sorted paging mechanism. Note that SSS is normally enabled by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with performance.
You can use AD LDS as a standalone directory service, or you can synchronize AD LDS with Active Directory, using Microsoft's built-in tools. Synchronization is invisible to FileNet P8 applications and authentication. It is a best practice to establish the connection between Active Directory and AD LDS before installing IBM® FileNet P8. Consult your AD LDS documentation for full information.
