Multiple LDAP support?

Is it possible for RTC to go against multiple LDAPs?

just to confirm
We are talking about configuring multiple LDAP for retrieving the email and
user name right ?
Not for authentication right ?
Authentication is managed by the AppServer, not by Jazz, so I believe WAS
supports multipe LDAP no ?

My understanding is that I can use Federated Authentication in WebSphere to authenticate against multiple ldaps. My question really is what setting do I use in the jazz server setup:

1) Tomcat User Database (I'm just assuming NO)
2) LDAP
3) Non-LDAP External Registry

I'm thinking that it should be #3 but wanted to confirm that and then also confirm that group membership would still flow through? #3 says this:

"If you wish to use an external registry other than LDAP, choose this option. Note that if you choose this option you must manually create users in the Jazz Repository to correspond to the users in your external registry."


Has anyone tried something like this? Am I on the right track?

If you choose federated realm (Non-LDAP external directory), the group information will not be displayed in the user editor. You have to also create users manually in Jazz repository.
