LDAPRealm: WLS keeps searching for ldapserver:389

Question

Hi,
we're having problems setting up the LDAP realm for WLS 5.1 SP 8. We are trying to
contact an
OpenLDAP server and even after setting a concrete server name in ldaprealm.properties,
WLS keeps
searching for ldapserver:389.
Here is our ldaprealm.properties:
server.host=someserver.at.our.domain
server.principal=cn=hugo,dc=involva,dc=de
server.credential=somepassword
user.dn=dc=involva,dc=de
user.filter=(&(uid=%u)(ou=gedoplan))
#group.dn=ou=groups, dc=example, dc=com
#group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames))
#membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames))
group.dn=ou=GEDOPLAN,dc=involva,dc=de
group.filter=(&(cn=%g)((ou=gedoplan)))
membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(ou=gedoplan))
And that is the log message:
Unable to initialize server: weblogic.security.ldaprealm.LDAPException: could no
t get context - with nested exception:
[java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - with target exception:
[javax.naming.CommunicationException: ldapserver:389 [Root exception is java.net
.UnknownHostException: ldapserver]]]
fatal initialization exception
weblogic.security.ldaprealm.LDAPException: could not get context - with nested e
xception:
[java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - with target exception:
[javax.naming.CommunicationException: ldapserver:389 [Root exception is java.net
.UnknownHostException: ldapserver]]]
Any help is highly appreciated !

Answer 1

Dirk,
There is no port specified in your file, so the default is 389.
