Introduction

WebSphere Lombardi Edition V7.2 (hereafter called Lombardi Edition) offers better integration options to WebSphere Process Server, iLOG, FileNet, and DB2®. A Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server is a directory repository that stores user information (such as user IDs and passwords) and authenticates users. This tutorial shows how to configure global security in Lombardi Edition using an LDAP server. This enables enterprise users in the LDAP to log in and use the various applications in Lombardi Edition and allows the IT department better access control. The LDAP server used in this example is Tivoli Directory Server V6.3, which is using DB2 as its database.

Objectives
