Configure the the user repository for a virtual portal

For the user repository for your virtual portals, we have a choice of using either federated security or an LDAP.

When enabling security on a portal installation, by default we have Federated Security as WebSphere Security provider. For details, review the section about Configuring the portal.

As an alternative choice, the portal also supports the stand-alone WebSphere Application Server Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user registry. You enable the user registry using the configuration task wp-modify-ldap-security. In this case, we can use only the default realm.
