Once you have selected the type of LDAP for which you wish to configure security, proceed
with the installation, the creation of required users and groups, the setup, disabling security,
configuring, and verification of the LDAP.
Note: Domino Directory is the LDAP user registry that will be discussed in this paper; you
may reference the link above for information about the other types.
When configuring Domino Directory, you can choose to have one-realm support or
multiple-realm support. Having realm support means one or more user registries (realms) can
be created. Since a realm must be mapped to a Virtual Portal, having realm support will allow
you to configure Virtual Portals in your environment as opposed to no realm support, which
allows only one user registry (one realm) to be created. We recommend enabling security
with realm support in the event that you wish to configure Virtual Portals in the environment at
a later time.
The appropriate portal configuration tasks that are designed to configure portal security to
work with an LDAP server can be run upon editing the entries in the file wpconfig.properties.
Note: These instructions can apply to either a stand-alone server installation or a cluster
environment. When performing these steps in a cluster, it is only necessary to perform
them on the primary node.
For security purposes, we do not recommend that you store passwords in the
wpconfig.properties file. Instead, you should edit the file with the passwords prior to running
the configuration task and then remove the passwords from the file once the task has
completed with success.
You also have the option to specify the password as a parameter when running the task
through the command line, as shown in Example 3-7.
Example 3-7 Specifying the password as a parameter
WPSconfig.{sh|bat} task_name -Dpassword_property_key=password_value
Once you have located the wpconfig.properties file, you will need to create a backup before
changing any values. Then using a text editor enter the values appropriate for your
environment, such as the values in the following sections of the file:
IBM WebSphere Application Server properties
WebSphere Portal Security LTPA and SSO Configuration
WebSphere Portal configuration properties
LDAP Properties Configuration
Advanced LDAP Configuration
IBM Workplace Web Content Management Properties (If you wish to configure WCM in
your WebSphere Portal environment)
You will also need to locate the wpconfig_dbdomain.properties file, which you will also need
to create a backup of before changing any values. Then, using a text editor, enter the values
appropriate for your environment, such as the values in the following sections of the file:
Database properties
For detailed information about what needs to be added to the properties file, including
examples, select WebSphere Portal → Configuring → Configuring Security → LDAP
