Usage of external LDAP server with Portal

Hi All,
We are in a situation to use external LDAP server with WLP 8.1. These are the
constraints we have to deal with:
1. Only read is allowed from this LDAP server.
2. This would be used for authentication purpose
If thats the case, how can we use Visitor Entitlements/Delegated Admin and Group
creation using Portal Admin tool since this will write to the configured LDAP
server.
Can somebody answer my question:
1. Can we use external LDAP server - just for authetication (I know this is possible
by using JAAS LoginModule, but I just want to get confirmed on this ) and
2. Use default and embedded LDAP server for all others like Group/Visitor Entitlements/DAs.
Any relevant pointers are also welcome.
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

Thanks for th ereply. Some of your answers are not clear. Can you pls eloborate
on this?? Pls see my comments below.

You can add the external LDAP server just for authentication, but in
versions through
8.1 SP2 WLP will want to verify the user exists (via the UserReaderMBean)
during
the login process (this check has been removed in SP3). A work around
is to
duplicate
the user in a provider that does impl UserReaderMBean.
Prashanth : You mean to say we have to duplicate the User in embedded LDAP server
also??

Yes, the default/embedded LDAP can still be used for DA/visitor
entitlements. In the current
release, the Portal Admin Tools can only be configured to use a single
authentication provider
while forming entitlements. In SP3, all configured providers are
listed/usable by the tools.Prashanth : How can we configure Portal Admin tool to use authentication provider
for entitlements??

  • Use of external LDAP server in Weblogic Commerce Server

    I'm using the following software:
    Iplanet Directory Server v5
    Weblogic Application Server v6
    Weblogic Commerce v3.5
    I need to configure Weblogic Commerce Server to use Iplanet Directory Server directory
    services. How do I do that?
    I have a couple of questions related to this:
    1) As Weblogic Commerce Server runs on top of Weblogic v6, does it mean that to
    use an external LDAP server, I need to configure weblogic v6 to do that and not
    Weblogic Commerce Server?
    2) Whatever may be the case above, how do I do that?
    3) config.xml (weblogic application server v6) contains information that needs
    to be modified to point to an external JNDI source provider but what information
    do I need to modify?
    I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out here. Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm looking for someone who has used the Lotus LDAP server for WLP7
    authentication.
    I connect my portal to the Domino LDAP, User and Groups are working
    fine, but the membership of a user to a group is not.
    I assume that it's related to the parameters I use (especially the
    membership.filter ?):
    "user.filter=(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=person));
    user.dn=O=Apac;
    membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupOfNames));
    group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupOfNames));
    server.host=jpgal01.apac.bea.com;
    group.dn="
    Any help would be appreciate, because I just don't where to look for.
    Try setting the com.netscape.ldap.trace property.
    \* When -D command line option is used, defining the property with
    * no value will send the trace output to the standard error. If the
    * value is defined, it is assumed to be the name of an output file.
    * If the file name is prefixed with a '+' character, the file is
    * opened in append mode.
    This will create a ldap trace file of the requests that WLS is making on the
    LDAP server. You can then see
    where the filters are not returning the correct value for the group
    membership.

  • External LDAP + Roles in portal

    Folks,
    I use weblogic 8.1 portal.
    Can we use an external LDAP for storing portal roles? If so, what is supported,
    recommended, etc. Does BEA have a recommendation/document on how to support an
    environment with multiple domains that share a common LDAP so that we don’t have
    to keep them all sync.
    Thanks
    - Lara

    Lara,
    The WLS SSPI (plug-in provider architecture) allows you to add additional
    role mappers, however the WLS out-of-the-box authorizer and role mapper are
    still required for WLP. Also, in a WLS domain/cluster each managed server
    has a copy of the LDAP which is automatically kept in sync by the admin
    server.

    Hi Vinit,
    if you want some Windows File Server integrated into Portal, please do not use a WebDAV Repository, but use the File System Repository instead. Therefore you need to configure the according Repository Manager. Please refer to this documentation:

  • External LDAP Server

    Hello.
    Is it possible to configure WebLogic to use external LDAP server, which in turn is "built in" in other WebLogic (at other physical machine)?
    And if it is possible, can I use OracleInternetDirectoryAuthenticator provider for this?
    (sorry for my english)

    Hi
    OID is all together a different LDAP provider.
    You can try to create a Authenticator of type LDAPAuthenticator and accordingly provide the configurations.

    Thanks Vijay - it has worked by creating the Administrator group in LDAP but Weblogic
    documentation also states the creation of any group in Ldap server with the boot
    username and pwd and then adding the group in the admin role of WLS7.0 - but this
    did not work.
    If there is any info regarding the same - pl. do let me know

    server
    and requires an user to be added to that group. I have this working in
    one of
    my projects. The group really doesnt need to be an LDAP administrative

    Can you provide any additional information. I might be able to help since

  • Using external LDAP server for  WL JNDI lookups

    I'm trying to find out if it is possible to re-direct JNDI calls to the WL
    server to an external LDAP server. I know you can install an external LDAP
    server for security purposes, but I would like to use an external LDAP
    server to handle all JNDI lookups (like for JNDI EJB name location, etc.).
    Is this possible?

    You typically need to use our JNDI store. We strongly recommend this for
    performance reasons..
    You can use the JNDI To LDAP bridge which is available from the sun web

  • Role of LDAP server in portal

    HI
    Can any one tell me what is the role of LDAP server in portal
    Thanks
    shashank

    Hi Shashak,
    if you use the LDAP Server as UME User Store, the security policy from the LDAP server is enforced. This means that if the data source has defined its own security policy, there is no standard interface to pass on any error messages received from the data source to the UME user in the same level of detail and in the correct language. The user only receives a very generic error message. Therefore, you would need to adapt the Portal security policy accordingly. You can find some further information under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7f/c52442ad9f5133e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.

  • Integrate Sun ONE Messaging and Sun ONE Calendar server with Portal 6.0

    We need to integrate (implement a Single Sign On solution) Sun ONE/iPlanet Messaging and Calendar servers with Portal 6.0. The Msg and Cal. servers do not use Portal Profile server as their DS and have a different DS.This directory server is the external DS for Portal. After users login to Portal, they should be able to access Msg and Cal. servers without login to them again.
    1. How do we do this without writing a java code/servlet ?
    2. Is there any way that we could configure DSAME to create the URL,add userID and password to it and forward that URL to above servers ?

    Hi,
    The SunOne communication providers for version 6.0 will be released soon.
    (you can get beta versions from early access program)
    Like in the portal version 3.0 these channels
    are enabling SSO for messaging and calendar servers.
    (I tested them with iMSG5.2 and Calendar5.1.1)

  • Integrating weblogic server with portal

    Hi  Friends,
    Can any one tell me the procedure how to Integrate application server like weblogic with portal.
    Thanks

    Hi Venigalla,
    FPN is the solution!
    Setting up a federated portal network is comparable to connecting your portal to a u201Cnormalu201D backend system. The steps of configuring a FPN in a nutshell are:
    -->Setting proxy settings
    -->Creating trust / single sign-on between portals in the federation
    -->Creating a producer system on the consumer portal
    Depending on your overall portal landscape the complexity of configuration steps might vary.
    Kindly go through the guides (PDF documents) in the links below:
    1. How to set up Landscape for Federated Portal Network:
    Content Sharing in SAP NetWeaver Portal
    2. SAP NetWeaver Portal WSRP Support:

  • Settings and usage of external FTP Server in ECC 6.0

    Dear all,
    I work in ECC 6.0, and I want to configure and use an external FTP Server for upload, download and delete file from FTP Server.
    My questions are:
    1) Which are steps for configure an FTP connection?
    2) How can I read, delete and send a flat file to the FTP Server? Can you send a sample code?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Giulio
