Prepare WebSphere Commerce to use LDAP

To prepare WebSphere Commerce to use LDAP, complete the following steps.

Prerequisite You have configured Member Manager.
Procedure:

1. The WC_eardir /xml/ldap/ldapentry.xml file maps the WebSphere Commerce user and organization attributes to Member Manager attributes. Member Manager attributes are then mapped to LDAP attributes in the wmm.xml file.

   1. (Microsoft Active Directory only) Configure WebSphere Commerce for use with Microsoft Active Directory.

   2. (All other LDAP servers) Configure the ldapentry.xml file for a custom user DN prefix.

2. Update the starter store archives when using non-default distinguished names.

3. Enable LDAP in the Configuration Manager.

4. Optional: Enable WebSphere Commerce Payments under LDAP.

5. Update the EAR file XML configuration directory. See the ways to update application files topic in the WAS Information Center for additional information.

6. Next step: Test your LDAP configuration.
