Configuring LDAP to use two containers

0
Jeff Fagan (6●3●3) | asked Nov 07 '12, 9:51 a.m.
Is it possible to configure LDAP so that users in two different containers can be considered for authentication?

Our users are spread across two containers in LDAP:

1) OU=Accounts,DC=xyz,DC=com
2) CN=Users,DC=xyz,DC=com

When we initially configured it, we tried using only the common base DN but that did not work.

We are using Tomcat against Microsoft Active Directory.

Ideally, mentioning DC=xyz,DC=com as base user/search DN should work. I did something similar in WAS and that worked.

I guess the trick is, the primary user name that you mention in the setup should have the capability to seach all the users across both the containers. That means the user should exist somewhere up in the LDAP hierarchy.

Hope this helps!
