Setting up LDAP for authentication to portal:default property set named "ldap

Question

Hi
I am trying to implement the LDAP authentication to WebLogic Portal .Iam went
thru the docmentation ( http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/p13ndev/users.htm#1131824).It
mentions using the default property set named "ldap" and deploying ldapprofile.jar.My
quenstion is:
-Is there a way to look into the property using EBCC
- Apart from deploying,configuring the ldapprofile.jar,do I have to do any additional
steps in order to make my portal(say,stockportal) authenticate users from LDAP?
-If a create my own portal,should I create a similar "ldap" property set?If so,how.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.Thanks
- Mike

You should be able to view the property set for LDAP through the EBCC
if you
have the propertysetws.jar installed in your Portal domain. This provides
the ability for the EBCC to retrieve property set information from your
server.

Hi Adrian
Thank you for the pointers.Much appreciate it.However,one questionstill
persists.
What is the significance of the property set "ldap" mentioned in the
document(http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/p13ndev/users.htm#1131824).Where
does this property set feature vis-a-vis setting up LDAP securityrealm;does it
mater prior to/after the setting up as mentioned in the document pointeryou just
gave .
Is it sufficinet that i follow the procedure to set up the LDAP oris
there more
to post setting,like creating a property set (similar to "ldap" orcloning
it)
apaprt frpom deploying ldapprofile.jar.
Thanks.

Mike,
The documentation that covers LDAP authentication is listed under
Weblogic
Server rather than Weblogic Portal.
See Configuring the LDAP Security Realm in Managing Security
(http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61////adminguide/cnfgsec.html#1071872)
Also take a look at the FAQ - Why can't I boot WebLogic Server whenusing
the LDAP Security Realm?
(http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61//faq/security.html#25833)
Hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Adrian.
