You'd better use an LDAP client to query the LDAP server with the parameters that you intend to use and see if you can get the desired results, as demonstrated in the below article.
https://jazz.net/library/article/479 Two issues that quite often come up when setting up LDAP are as follows. 1. Incorrect Base DN. In WAS, there is only one Base DN, for both users and groups. If the base DN for all users is "OU=users,DC=example,DC=com", and the base DN for all groups is "OU=groups,DC=example,DC=com", then you should set the base DN as "DC=example,DC=com". 2. Incorrect Group Member ID Map. Without explaining the details, the safest setting for most LDAP server is "*:member". If you still struggles, you should contact Support, or you can explain in details of three related items - one LDAP user, one LDAP group (containing this user) and the advanced settings page in WAS. |

Update: the problem was with IE browser. I could do this in Firefox. However, I upgraded Websphere to 8.5.5.10 and was able to do this using IE.
