WebLogic 6.1 and iPlanet LDAP v5

Question

Per a proof of concept, I am having trouble getting WL6.1 to see
group members as defined in iPlanet LDAP. I can see the groups,
but modifies to create groups only create them in the local DB.
Created users also only get placed in the local DB. I can bind
for searches as Directory Manager via ldapsearch and run queries,
and the DS gateway works fine. I can dump the LDIF file and the
entries look fine.
I copied and modified the template for the Netscape server and
have the realm setup per the GUI.
For sanity, everything is very generic as:
the Root DN is "o=test.org"
and my "Configuration" part from the config.xml looks like:
server.authprotocol=simple;
server.host=localhost;
membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
server.port=390;
group.dn=o=test.org;
group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
server.principal=cn=Directory Manager;
user.dn=o=test.org;
server.groupiscontext=false;
user.filter=(&(uid=%u))
I added the "authprotocol" as a guess. Note that the server is
running on port 390, this is not a typo.
Any ideas what is going wrong?

hi,
there are two versions of ldap supported in wls6.1 , ldapv1 and ldavp2
ldap v1 only has the functionality of listing groups.
but where ldapv2 doesn't have that functionality,
by looking at your config , it seems you are using ldap v2..
if u need that functionality u can use ldapv1.
thanks
