LDAP with WebSphere Application Server V7

Use LDAP to authenticate users and define the users and groups who can install mobile applications with the Application Center; we can use the JNDI environment or the VMM API to define the LDAP mapping

You use LDAP to define the roles appcenteradmin and appcenteruser. Then, two ways of defining LDAP mapping for WAS V7:

• By using the JNDI environment with a stand-alone LDAP configuration

• By using federated repositories with the Virtual Member Manager (VMM) API

• Configure LDAP authentication (WebSphere Application Server V7)
  Define the users who can access the Application Center console and the users who can log in to the client by configuring LDAP as a stand-alone LDAP server or as a federated repository.

  Use LDAP to define the users and groups who can install mobile applications with the Application Center using the JNDI environment.
