Sun Java System Directory Server

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