Use this security wizard page to provide the basic settings to connect the application server to an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry.
Specifies the type of LDAP server to which you connect.
IBM SecureWay Directory Server is not supported.
IBM
SecureWay Directory Server is supported by the application server for z/OS
as well as many other LDAP servers.
Specifies the host ID (IP address or domain name service (DNS) name) of the LDAP server.
Specifies the host port of the LDAP server.
Default: | 389 |
Type: | Integer |
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.
If you need to interoperate between the application server Version 5 and a Version 5.0.1 or later server, you must enter a normalized base DN. A normalized base DN does not contain spaces before or after commas and equal symbols. An example of a non-normalized base DN is o = ibm, c = us or o=ibm, c=us. An example of a normalized base DN is o=ibm,c=us. In WebSphere Application Server, Version 5.0.1 or later, the normalization occurs automatically during run time.
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.
Specifies the password for the application server to use when binding to the directory service.
