Enabling LDAP on WebSphere Application Server

Manage users by using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

About this task

To provide the most secure authentication possible, configure WebSphere® Application Server with a backend Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. In the presence of an LDAP server more advanced authentication capabilities are often provided. For example, most LDAP servers provide mechanisms to lockout user accounts after some failed authentication attempts.

Procedure

Set up the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) on WebSphere Application Server.
