10 Apr 2008 IBM® WebSphere® Federation Server V9.1 and
subsequent releases enable users to retrieve all of their
enterprise user mappings from external repositories by developing and
configuring custom user mapping plug-ins. User mapping plug-ins
help enterprise users reap several benefits
including ease of password maintenance, the ability to share user mappings
across different WebSphere Federation Server instances, and enhanced security. This tutorial provides
a step-by-step guide to develop a custom Java™ plug-in for WebSphere Federation Server to retrieve user
mappings from Microsoft® Active Directory (AD). Objectives - Discover scenarios where external user mapping repositories are needed.
- See an overview of the WebSphere Federation Server Plug-in Architecture.
- Configure Active Directory to store user mappings.
- Develop and test the plug-in.
- Configure Federation Server to use the plug-in.
-
Get useful tips and tricks dealing with security and other diagnostic information.
Prerequisites
This tutorial is written for WebSphere Federation Server
administrators and users who want to configure advanced
security options for the server. Basic to intermediate skills using
