AIX stand-alone: Prepare an Oracle Directory Server

If you plan to use a Oracle Directory Server as an LDAP user registry, install and set up the server so that it will communicate with WebSphere Portal.

To prepare Oracle Directory Server:

  1. Install Oracle Directory Server; refer to Oracle software for information.

  2. Create the WebSphere Portal administrative user:

    1. Optional. Create a new directory suffix:

      1. Click the Server Administration folder, located in the left-hand navigation of the directory server console.

      2. Click the Manage Server Properties folder under the Server Administration folder and then select Suffixes on the main page.

      3. Type the Base DN name for the suffix; for example: dc=yourcompany,dc=com.

      4. Click Add.

      5. Click OK to save changes.

    2. Open the appropriate LDIF file, located in the root directory of the CD setup, with a text editor:

        Use PortalUsers.ldif as a working example and adapted appropriately to work with LDAP server.

        Use ContentUsers.ldif for the IBM DB2Content Manager group and user IDs if you configured DB2 Content Manager.

    3. Replace every dc=yourco,dc=com with your suffix.

    4. Replace any prefixes and suffixes that are unique to LDAP server.

    5. You can specify user names other than wpsadmin and wpsbind. For security reasons, specify nontrivial passwords for these administrator accounts.

    6. If using IBM TivoliAccess Manager Version 5.1, set the objectclasses to accessGroup. If using Tivoli Access Manager Version 6, set the objectclasses to groupOfNames.

    7. Save changes.

    8. Follow the instructions provided with directory server to import the LDIF file.
