Configure LDAP as a WebSphere User Account Repository (User Registry)

In a typical deployment, the WebSphere Application Server 7.0 and the SiteMinder Policy Server are configured to use the same LDAP user registry.

Note: If you are not configuring WebSphere and the Policy Server to use the same LDAP user registry (typically because WebSphere is already configured with a custom user registry), verify that the custom registry is properly configured (see the WebSphere documentation for information) and configure user mapping.

To configure a SiteMinder LDAP user directory as a WebSphere user registry

1. If necessary, start the WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
2. In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, select Security, Global Security.
3. From the Available realm definitions drop-down menu, select Standalone LDAP registry.
