Verify LDAP
After setting security with LDAP, use the following steps to verify that your LDAP server for WebSphere Portal has been properly configured:
For IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Domino Directory, Novell eDirectory, and Sun ONE:
- Go to WebSphere Portal and create a new user by clicking Sign-up in the upper-right hand corner.
- Log in to WebSphere Portal as the user you have just created.
If the login is successful, your LDAP server should be working correctly.
For Active Directory: You should be able to create users through WebSphere Portal, but it is not possible to set passwords for new users. log on using an existing or default userid and password. If login is successful, Active Directory should be correctly set up.
The content resulting from logon may vary according to user role. If you do not receive an error message, you can assume that the LDAP server is functioning properly.
