Assumptions
This cheat sheet outlines the basic settings required for WebSphere Application Server to authenticate
users with an Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server. It is assumed that the LDAP server exists and has been populated with users and groups. For more information on this task, see the following information center articles:
Before you begin
- Set up an LDAP-compliant directory server or verify that a directory server is available for storing users and group information for both your applications and for WebSphere Application Server administration.
- Create any users and groups that are needed within the directory. Note: WebSphere Application Servers do not provide the direct management of user and group information within the directory itself.
