Fetching properties from external LDAP

Question

Hi,
I have configured ActiveDirectoryAunthenticator to link to my external LDAP
provider. I am trying to fetch some properties/attributes related to the
profile such as company and other contact details.
I have not configured UUP as Im using weblogic's default user store.
Now, when I access "com.bea.p13n.controls.profile.UserProfileControl", to
fetch the properties I get null values.
Is there some other configuration required ?
Please let me know the solution or the approach.
Thanks in advance ,
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun
Migration of data is possible
Export the data from external server and import into your domain server
Here is the steps
To export and import security data:
1.     Expand the Security-->Realms nodes.
2.     Click the name of the realm you are configuring (for example, TestRealm).
3.     Click the Migration-->Export tab.
4.     Specify the directory and filename in which to export the security data in
the Export Directory on Server attribute.
Note: You can specify a directory and file location on another server.
5.     Click Export.
6.     Expand the Realms node.
7.     Click the name of the security realm in which the security data is to be imported.
8.     Click the Migration-->Import tab.
9.     Specify the directory location and file name of the file that contains the
exported security data in the Import Directory on Server attribute.
10.     Click Import.
To verify the security data was imported correctly:
1.     Expand the Security-->Realms nodes.
2.     Click the name of the realm into which the security data was imported.
3.     Click Users.
4.     Users from the security realm from which you exported the security data should
appear in the Users table.
