Problem in LDAP Authentication

Question

Hi All,
Iam new in LDAP.I developed a web application using Form Based Authentication. I deployed the web application in Weblogic R3 Application Server. I want my web application to authenticate using LDAP Users. I configured LDAP V3 in weblogic server. I am getting LDAP users as "orcladmin" and "PUBLIC" through LDAP Authenticator in the console. But when iam authenticating using "orcladmin" in web application, i am unable to authenticate. I defined the principal name "orcladmin" in weblogic.xml. Can any solve my problem or suggest me any link regarding how to design the webapplication to authenticate using LDAP Users or Any tutorial to learn LDAP and use it in the web application. Thanks in Advance for the help.

If you are using ADF Security, you must do the mapping in the jazn-data.xml by "creating" OCS_PORTAL_USERS role in jazn-data realm, and mapping it to application role CN.
You should also have something like this in web.xml
<security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
        </web-resource-collection>
        <auth-constraint>
            <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
        </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <security-role>
        <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
    </security-role>
{code}
- and in weblogic.xml
{code:xml}
<security-role-assignment>
    <role-name>valid-users</role-name>
    <principal-name>users</principal-name>
  </security-role-assignment>
{code}
And, regarding creating users in OID, check out the  [Java API for Oracle Internet Directory|http://lbdwww.epfl.ch/f/teaching/courses/oracle9i/network.920/a96577/oid_java.htm], and search the forums for 'create user in OID' or something similar, you could find some info.
