LDAP

The virtual member manager LDAP adapter maps the virtual member manager entity types to the corresponding LDAP object classes.

For each entity type that virtual member manager supports, the virtual member manager LDAP adapter enables the configuration of the corresponding object classes on LDAP. The set of entity types in the virtual member manager domain model map to the following LDAP object classes:

Virtual member manager entity type	Default LDAP object class
Person	inetOrgPerson user for Active Directory
OrgContainer	organization organizationalUnit
Group	group for Active Directory groupOfUniqueNames for Sun One
PersonAccount	inetOrgPerson user for Active Directory
Locality	locality
Country	country
Container	container

If entries exist in an LDAP directory that are not conceptually of the same types that virtual member manager supports, those entries cannot be accessed by virtual member manager.

• Default LDAP configuration mapping based on LDAP server type
  Virtual member manager configuration CLIs and WebSphere federated repository LDAP configuration GUI set default values in the wimconfig.xml file, based on the selected LDAP server type.
• Configure an LDAP server adapter
  The LDAP adapter is configured using the console or the wsadmin commands. See the WebSphere administrative console documentation. If modify this configuration, you can manually edit the wimconfig.xml file, although this is not the preferred method.
• Primary and secondary LDAP server failover
  Virtual member manager supports configuration of multiple LDAP servers for fault tolerance and reliability.
