Installing an LDAP server is not part of the default IBM WebSphere Portal installation, so install, setup, and configure the Sun Java System Directory Server separately. We can install the Sun Java System Directory Server on the same machine as WebSphere Portal or we can install it on a remote machine.

  1. Installing Sun Java System Directory Server
    If necessary, use the information in this file to install Sun Java System Directory Server so that we can set up and configure Sun Java System Directory Server as the LDAP server for IBM WebSphere Portal.

  2. Creating required LDAP users and groups
    Before we can configure IBM WebSphere Portal to work with the LDAP server, the LDAP user registry must have some minimal user and group information already populated. This section describes the procedures necessary to set up the LDAP server to work with WebSphere Portal.

  3. Setting up Sun Java System Directory Server
    Use this information to set up Sun Java System Directory Server as the LDAP server.

  4. Disable WAS global security
    If WAS global security is enabled, disable it before modifying the security configuration.

  5. Configuring Sun Java System Directory Server
    We can choose to configure the LDAP to support one-realm (non-realm support) or multiple realms (realm support).

  6. Verifying LDAP
    After setting security with LDAP, use this information to verify that the LDAP server for WebSphere Portal has been properly configured.

  7. Setting up LDAP over SSL with Sun Java System Directory Server server
    Configure the Sun Java System Directory Server over SSL to ensure the confidentiality of the data exchanged between WAS, WebSphere Portal, and the LDAP user registry.
