IBM WebSphere V5.0 Security - CGISecurity

2. Select Security -> User Registries -> LDAP and provide the following
information for the LDAP configuration:
– Server User ID: enter the DN for your WebSphere server id. In our
example, this is cn=wasadmin,o=tamral,c=us.
– Server User Password field: enter the password for your server id.
– Type: Netscape
– Host: enter the DNS name of your iPlanet Directory Server. In our
example, we entered tivoli9.svo.dfw.ibm.com.
– Port: 636
– Base Distinguished Name (DN): enter the directory suffix under which
your WebSphere users are stored in your directory server. In our example
o=tamral,c=us as our suffix.
– Select the SSL Enabled checkbox.
– SSL Configuration: iPlanetssl
After finishing your entries, click OK.
3. The global security settings will appear; select the Enable button for security.
Select LDAP in the Active User Registry field, if you have not done so yet.
Click OK.
4. Once WebSphere validates your new configuration, you will need to save the
configuration and restart your WebSphere server. If any errors are found, go
back and check your entries before saving.
Once you have restarted your WebSphere server, you will now be using SSL to
communicate with your iPlanet Directory Server.
Microsoft Active Directory
In this section, we will cover the steps required to configure WebSphere
Application Server V5 to use Microsoft Active Directory as its user registry. To
use Active Directory, you must have a Windows 2000 domain in your
environment. To configure your WebSphere server to use Active Directory as its
user registry, follow these steps.
1. To begin, start the Active Directory Administration console by selecting
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users and
Computers. The following panel will display.
