JAZN-LDAP: Make use of different LDAP Server

Question

Hi,
I am trying to make use of a different LDAP Server (other than OID)-- With OID i am able to authenticate users.
Now i need to make use of a different LDAP Server (For ex: SunONe Directory Server).. I have tried specifying the LDAP URL location of the new LDAP Server in the Orion-Application.xml as below
<jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://ldaphost:ldapport" />
But I see that the application is still defaulting to the OID and not making use of the LDAPserver specified above.
Also, i see that I am unable to modify the LDAP URL Location
In Step2 of Deploying an Application :
Deploy Application: User Manager : I have selected the option "Use JAZN LDAP User Manager"
But the LDAP Location is non-editable and which defaults to the OID location as the one below
LDAP Location ldap://OIDLDAPURL:PORT
Could ne1 throw some light on the issue i am facing..
Thanks
John

See Configuring External LDAP Providers @:
http://matrix.csustan.edu/docs/oracle/oas/web.1012/b14013/ldap3rdparty.htm
Here are a few gotchas for active directory:
-if you plan to use the membership of the AD user to AD roles, set in orion-application:
<jazn provider="XML">
<property name="custom.ldap.provider" value="true"/>
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true"/>
</jazn>
in web.xml you should also define
<security-role>
<role-name>ldap-role-to-which-ldap-user-belongs-that-is-entitled to-acces-the-resource</role-name>
</security-role>
If you run the application in the embedded OC4J it seems it takes this hint from other file that you can determine looking at trace you can make appear with option:
-Djazn.debug.log.enable=true (in jvm start command)
When running in embedded OC4J the application is called: current-workspace-app
Good Luck
