The embedded LDAP server is used as a storage mechanism with the WebLogic Authentication, Authorization, Role Mapping, and Credential Mapping providers. Use this tab to set attributes on the embedded LDAP server.
Information from the WebLogic Authentication, Authorization, Role Mapping, and Credential Mapping providers is stored and updated in the Admin server and replicated to all the managed servers in the domain. Read operations performed by the WebLogic security providers (when running on a manager server) access the local replicated embedded LDAP server. Write operations access the master embedded LDAP server on the Admin server and any updates are replicated to all the managed servers in the domain. If the Admin server is not running, then operations by the WebLogic security providers that write to the embedded LDAP server (for example, adding new users, groups, or roles or adding resources) are not possible.
