Verifying LDAP

After setting security with LDAP, use this information to verify that your LDAP server for IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express has been properly configured.

Perform the following steps to verify that your LDAP server is properly configured:

1. Go to WebSphere Portal Express and create a new user by clicking Sign-up. Note for Active Directory: Until secure socket layer is enabled for Active Directory, it is not possible to set passwords for users or, therefore, to create new users. You will need to log on using an existing or default administrator userid and password. If login is successful, Active Directory should be correctly set up.

2. Log in to WebSphere Portal Express as the user you have just created.

If the login is successful, your LDAP server should be working correctly. The content resulting from logon may vary according to user role. If you do not receive an error message, you can assume that the LDAP server is functioning properly.
