Symptoms

WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Content have been configured with a different backend LDAP - ex: Active Directory - eg, WLS Security Provider.
When logging in onto the WebCenter Content, eg, http://<HOSTNAME>:<WCC_PORT>/cs as one of the backend LDAP users, the following error occurs:

Content Server Request Failed csJpsErrorLoadingSecurityInfo

Exception type is 'javax.naming.PartialResultException'. javax.naming.CommunicationException: <HOSTNAME>:<PORT> [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException:<HOSTNAME>]. java.net.UnknownHostException: <HOSTNAME>.

Changes

Changed the LDAP configuration, eg, created a new WLS Security Provider within the WLS Admin Console onto a different backend LDAP - ex: Active Directory - leaving the Default WLS Security Provider configuration.
