JNDI to access Novell NDS LDAP

Question

Hi,
I'm using WLS 5.1 on Solaris.
I would like to use an NDS LDAP server instead of the internal WLS JNDI
directory.
Has anyone done this?
I think you simply specify the LDAP server when getting the initial
context. Does anyone have any sample code I could see?
many thanks

Hi
I am attaching a sample code below. Replace LDAP URL with the URL of your
LDAP server.
I have created entry in LDAP server with uid=LPraful.
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import weblogic.jndi.WLContext;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
* Demonstrates how to retrieve selected attributes of a named object.
* usage: java Getattrs
class Getattrs {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set up the environment for creating the initial context
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"ldap://leena.eaitech:389/ou=People,o=eaitech");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"cn=Directory Manager" );
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"netscape" );
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
h.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7010");
h.put(WLContext.DELEGATE_ENVIRONMENT,env);
try {
// Create initial context
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(h);
System.out.println("ctx = "+ctx);
System.out.println("performing lookup ");
Object obj = ctx.lookup("cn=Ravi Pinto");
System.out.println("lookup = "+obj);
// Specify the ids of the attributes to return
String[] attrIDs = { "telephonenumber", "mail"};
// Get the attributes requested
Attributes answer = ctx.getAttributes("uid=LPraful");
System.out.println("test1");
// Print the answer
for (NamingEnumeration ae = answer.getAll(); ae.hasMore();)
Attribute attr = (Attribute)ae.next();
System.out.print("attribute: " + attr.getID());
// Print each value
for (NamingEnumeration e = attr.getAll(); e.hasMore();
System.out.println(" value: " + e.next()));
System.out.println();
// Close the context when we're done
ctx.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
