Adding the LDAP user registry as a federated repository

Federated repositories can access and maintain user data in multiple repositories, and federate that data into a single federated repository. For example, use the default file-based repository and an LDAP repository that is combined under a single realm.

Pre-requisites for this task:

Set up an LDAP server and create an LDAP user registry. Ensure that WebSphere® Application Server supports the LDAP user registry as a federated repository, for example, IBM Tivoli Directory Server or Microsoft Active Directory Server.

Before you configure a central user registry, make sure that the user registry or registries that you plan to identify are started. The user registry must be accessible from the computer where you set up the Jazz for Service Management application server.
