Configure IBM Directory Server for use with WebSphere Commerce

If you use IBM Directory Server, complete the steps on this page.

Prerequisite

• Ensure that WebSphere Commerce is installed and configured.

• Ensure that the IBM Directory Server is installed according to the instructions provided by the provider.

To configure IBM Directory Server...

1. Add the following organization Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) to the top of your directory server: o=root organization
   

   • If you choose to use an organization that does not have a parent DN (such as o=root organization), then first create a suffix for that organization, if it does not already exist.

   • You can customize this name to match your own settings. For example, you can use dc=domain,dc=ibm,dc=com instead of o=root organization.

2. Add the following RDN as a child of the RDN created in step 1: o=default organization
   

   You can customize this name to match your own settings. For example, use cn=users,dc=domain,dc=ibm,dc=com instead of o=default organization,o=root organization.

3. Restart the Directory Server.

4. Next task: After you have completed configuring your directory server, install Member Manager.
