Configuring portal user ID conversion based on directory service
When you use social rendering with an IBM® Connections server, you must configure both IBM WebSphere® Portal Express® and Connections against the same directory service. Depending on the directory service that you use, WebSphere Portal Express needs to convert the user IDs of portal users to a format that the Connections server accepts. For example, this conversion is required if both WebSphere Portal Express and Connections are configured against a Domino® Directory service or a Microsoft Active Directory.
