Table 14-9 LDAP Security Realm Attributes on the Users Tab
Attribute Description
User Authentication Determines the method for authenticating Users.
Set this attribute to one of the following values:
n Bind specifies that the LDAP security realm
retrieves user data, including the password for
the LDAP server, and checks the password in
WebLogic Server.
n External specifies that the LDAP security
realm authenticates a User by attempting to
bind to the LDAP server with the username
and password supplied by the WebLogic
Server client. If you choose the
External
setting, you must also use the SSL protocol.
n Local specifies that the LDAP security realm
authenticates a User by looking up the
UserPassword property in the LDAP directory
and checking it against the passwords in
WebLogic Server.
If you are using Netscape iPlanet, set this attribute
to
Bind.
User Password Attribute If the User Authentication attribute is set to Local,
this attribute is used to find out what LDAP
property contains the passwords for the LDAP
users.
User DN A list of attributes and their values that, when
combined with the attributes in the
User Name
Attribute

LDAP User.
User Name Attribute The login name of the LDAP User. The value of
this attribute can be the common name of an
LDAP User but usually it is an abbreviated string,
such as the common name.
