EP 6.0 SP11 - LDAP Configuration

[Former Member]

All, a quick question on a vexing problem.

Can someone tell me what port is typically used when configuring your LDAP Server connection in EP60 SP11 to a Microsoft Active Directory LDAP?

I've reached out to our Active Directory Admins but have not heard anything back.

Thanks in advance for your help!

(PS - they did provide us with a user to connect to the LDAP. Thank again).

Henry,

It's port 389.

Thanks Gabor,

That was very helpful.

A follow up question; now that I have been able to successfully configure the LDAP Server tab (i was able to successfully test the connection) and selected the appropriate data source in the Data Source tab (Read Only Microsoft ADS (Deep Hierarchy) + Database); is there anything else I need to do besides restart the J2EE engine in order to be able to use accounts based in the LDAP?

I have not been able to log in using the LDAP resources at all and am wondering if I missed a step. I'm researching through whatever documentation I can find, but if you or anyone else knows what I might be missing, could you please let me know? Thanks in advance!

- It depends on how your users are stored in the LDAP. We use the flat hierarchy, because our users are all over the place and we use security groups to manage them.

- In addition, I don't see in your post that you have specified the user path and the group path in your LDAP. Once you do, and once you have a dedicated service user to esstablish the connection between your portal and LDAP, just restart the J2EE engine and you are set.
