10.13.1 <strong>IBM</strong> SecureWay Directory Server V3.2.2<br />

The following detailed configuration will show how to configure <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

Application Server V5 to use the <strong>IBM</strong> Secureway Directory Server V3.2.2. There<br />

are two scenarios; the second built upon the first one.<br />

►<br />

►<br />

The first scenario covers the basic LDAP configuration with <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

Application Server.<br />

The second scenario covers how to enable the connection to use SSL for<br />

LDAP (LDAPS), providing security to <strong>WebSphere</strong> LDAP communication.<br />

Before securing the connection between <strong>WebSphere</strong> and LDAP communication<br />

using SSL, we recommend that you first configure LDAP for <strong>WebSphere</strong>.<br />

Configuring a basic LDAP connection<br />

The following steps will show a basic configuration for <strong>WebSphere</strong> Application<br />

Server V5 to use <strong>IBM</strong> SecureWay Directory Server as the user registry.<br />

Configuring the <strong>IBM</strong> SecureWay Directory Server<br />

Once the installation and basic configuration for the directory server are finished,<br />

proceed to add new data entries into the directory. The following steps will guide<br />

you through the basic configuration of <strong>IBM</strong> SecureWay Directory Server.<br />

Before you can add entries to the database, it is necessary to define a suffix for<br />

that directory. A suffix is the starting point in the directory and specifies the<br />

Distinguished Name (DN) for the root of that tree. The LDAP server must have at<br />

least one suffix defined and can have multiple suffixes. Each entry added to the<br />

directory contains in their fully Distinguished Name (DN) a suffix that matches<br />

one of the server’s suffixes defined on the server.<br />

To define a valid suffix, it is possible to use the X.500 naming structure that will<br />

set the root of the directory to a specific organization in a specific country or to a<br />

specific organization and organizational unit:<br />

o=ibm,c=us<br />

where o represents the Organization and c represents the Country, and<br />

ou=raleigh,o=ibm<br />

where ou represents the Organizational Unit and o represents the Organization.<br />

It is also possible to use the DNS naming model by using the domainComponent<br />

attribute:<br />

dc=ibm.com<br />

where dc represents a domain component, for example:<br />
