How do I Configure the Application Server to use an External Source for Authentication? (Doc ID 432636.1)

Last updated on MAY 10, 2023

Applies to:

Identity Manager - Version 9.0.1.5 to 9.1.0.2.21
Information in this document applies to any platform.
JBoss
WebLogic
WebSphere


Goal

Is there any way to change the Web Application Server authentication to use some other external / custom authentication source, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server? That will allow logging in to the Application Server Administrative Console via authentication credentials that are checked against a corporate source rather than the internal Application Server password file.
