  • 1.  Accessing LDAP from Websphere Application Sever 6.1.0.25

    Posted 05/29/14 05:25 PM

    Hi All,


    Got 2 application server instances(in same cell,node,DMGR) containing 2 different applications and now both are pointing to same LDAP 10.XX.XX.XX Port 389.But now for one application(one server instance)should point to same LDAP IP 10.XX.XX.XX but different Port 3268.How can this be done?
    I thought of manually adding extra one tag in Security.xml




    ---->manually added this

    Will this work,else any other options available.Please help me.

    Hi karthikeyan
     
      I'm not understanding well your question, you want an application sever validating againts 10.XX.XX.XX:389 and other to 10.XX.XX.XX:3268?
     
      I don't know which tag are you addind? any way is not a good practices to edit security.xml
     
      In version 6.1 you only can have one security domain configured and is for all cell. You can choose federate repository and defined 2 ldap servers pointing to same server but in different ports, but you haven't granularity to choose what LDAP must use each server.
     
      Another think is if you want LDAP server failover

      In version 7 and higher you have security domains

        Multiple security domains

        The WebSphere® Security Domains (WSD) provide the flexibility to use different security configurations in WebSphere Application Server. The WSD is also referred to as multiple security domains, or simply, security domains. You can configure different security attributes, such as the UserRegistry, for different applications.
