Hi All,

Can we use OpenSSL for Authentication of Websphere products like WAS,Portal and Datapower ?

Hi Pavan,

  Sorry, I don't understand your question.
 
  Till my knowledge OpenSSL is to manage your certificates, then your Web Server (IHS, Apache, IIS,...) will use your certificates and your appserver to.
 
  Web Servers a based on c++ so use kdb keystores and App Servers use java keystores (jks, now p12) certificates.
 
  I usually use iKeyman to manage both type of certificates (web and Appsrv) but I have used OpenSSL too.

  So I'm not understanding what do you mean with "use OpenSSL for Authentication"

Hi Gabriel,
Sorry I didn't make myself clear.

When we enable global security we can  use ldap as a federated user repository right. So my question here is can we use open ldap as a the user repository or not.

The configuration wizard list ldap types for TDS, Active directory and others but not open ldap. So, want to know if we can use open ldap in this case.

Hope this is explanatory.

Hi Pavan,

   Here a report of supported LDAP servers for WAS 8.5.5

   WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 
www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compati...
 
  WebSphere Application Server LDAP Server Support
  www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=s...
 
  Although OpenLDAP is not in the list
 
  "For the LDAP servers not listed that support the LDAP V3 specification, you will need to configure the LDAP server using a custom LDAP feature with an appropriate filter and you will need to obtain the appropriate filter information from your LDAP vendor. "
 
  So WAS 8.5.5 supports OpenLDAP take in mind that one thing is WAS and another products that works over WAS in that case you need to check compatibility matrix of these products.

  Hope this helps. Tell us if you need more support

Regards

Thanks Gabriel, it helps.. I will give it a try and will let let you know if I need any help :)
