LDAP on WebLogic

Question

Hello
I have sample code:
      l_ret := DBMS_LDAP.search_s ( ld => g_session
                                  , base => g_ldap_basedn
                                  , SCOPE => DBMS_LDAP.scope_subtree
                                  , filter => '(&(member='||l_userdn||')(objectcategory=group)'||l_groups_or||')'
                                  , attrs => l_res_attrs
                                  , attronly => 0
                                  , res => l_res_message);
It works with MS Active Directory, now I have to move it to WebLogic LDAP. I don't know how to change this filter string. Do you have some idea ?

Hi Sabir
1. By default, as far as I know, from pure WLS point of view, we can create new users with just username and password like from WLS Admin Console.
2. I am not much familiar with "The users are getting updated on the system-jazn.xml file". Is this like External Authentication Provider that you configured with WLS.
3. For example, WLS can be configured with any External LDAP sources that has full User Profile and username and password etc. Then for say Weblogic Portal Applications, we have some procedure, to view the entire profile. Even for out of box Embedded LDAP in case of Weblogic Portal Appliations only we can View/Edit the full User Profile from something called Portal Admin Console. But this is all specific to Weblogic Portal Applications only.
If you can give more details on this "system-jazn.xml" file, we can look into it. But when it comes to core WLS, all you can do, configure it with any External Security Provider from Weblogic Console. And additionally create your own custom Authentication Provider. Coming to Profile, I know for Weblogic Portal Applications deployed on this WLS + portal modules, we can View/Edit full Profile.
