I'm having iPlanet LDAP problems too! Can someone give this admin a hand?

Question

I've created the iPlanet Authenticator in my existing "myrealm" and have configured
everything. Now when I startup my Weblogic 7, I don't see anything related to
the initialization of the external iplanet LDAP directory server. Can someone
help? I just see one thing,

What are my next steps to make WLS 7.0 to iplanet directory a reality?

Hi,
Check if you can see users and groups from the directory server in the
console.

What are my next steps to make WLS 7.0 to iplanet directory a reality?Kai, should I be able to go to the "Users" for that realm and seach the
LDAP server?
Didn't think that was possible. If I had multiple authentication providers,
how
would WL know which provider to use?
Also, I looked at my config.xml and it doesn't seem to have the changes....should
it be in there?
thanks,

Hi,
The users page lists all users and provides in an additional column the source
(auth.prov.) from where the user has been sourced. If you don't see the users
from the LDAP directory it's not working properly. There is also a bug where the
users page is not loading if the number of users is too big. I'm working with
8 at the moment, but it should be the same with 7. The authentication provider
configuration of the default provider by BEA are stored in the internal LDAP.
