Domain: Security: Embedded LDAP

This page allows you to configure the embedded LDAP server for this WebLogic Server domain.

The embedded LDAP server contains user, group, group membership, security role, security policy, and credential map information. By default, each WebLogic Server domain has an embedded LDAP server configured with the default values set for each attribute. The WebLogic Authentication, Authorization, Credential Mapping, and Role Mapping providers use the embedded LDAP server as their database. If you use any of these providers in a new security realm, you may want to change the default values for the embedded LDAP server to optimize its use in your environment.

Configuration Options

Name	Description
Credential	The credential (usually a password) used to connect to the embedded LDAP server. If this password has not been set, WebLogic Server generates a password at domain creation, initializes the attribute, and saves the configuration to the config.xml file. If you want to connect to the embedded LDAP server using an external LDAP browser and the embedded LDAP administrator account (cn=Admin), change this attribute from the generated value. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.Credential` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Confirm Credential	Enter the credential again. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.Credential` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Backup Hour	The hour (between 0 and 23) at which the embedded LDAP server should be backed up. Used in conjunction with the Backup Minute attribute to determine the time at which the embedded LDAP server data files are backed up. At the specified time, WebLogic Server suspends writes to the embedded LDAP server, backs up the data files into a zip files in the ldap/backup directory, and then resumes writes. The default is 23.
Backup Minute	The minute (between 0 and 59) at which the embedded LDAP server should be backed up. Used in conjunction with the Back Up Hour attribute to determine the time at which the embedded LDAP server data files are backed up. The default is 5 minutes.
Backup Copies	The maximum number of backup copies (between 0 and 65534) that should be made for the embedded LDAP server. This value limits the number of zip files in the`ldap/backup` directory. The default is 7.
Cache Enabled	Specifies whether a cache is used with the embedded LDAP server. This cache is used when a managed server is reading or writing to the master embedded LDAP server that is running on the Administration server. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.CacheEnabled` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Cache Size	The size of the cache (in kilobytes) that is used with the embedded LDAP server. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.CacheSize` Minimum value: `0` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Cache TTL	The time-to-live of the cache (in seconds) that is used with the embedded LDAP server. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.CacheTTL` Minimum value: `0` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Refresh Replica At Startup	Specifies whether a Managed Server should refresh all replicated data at boot time. (This is useful if you have made a large amount of changes when the Managed Server was not active, and you want to download the entire replica instead of having the Administration Server push each change to the Managed Server.) The default is false.
Master First	Specifies whether a Managed Server should always connect to the master LDAP server (contained in the Administration Server), instead of connecting to the local replicated LDAP server (contained in the Managed Server).
Timeout	Specifies the maximum number of seconds to wait for results from the embedded LDAP server before timing out. If this option is set to 0, there is no maximum time limit. MBean Attribute: `LDAPServerMBean.Timeout` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
Anonymous Bind Allowed	Specifies whether the embedded LDAP server should allow anonymous connections. MBean Attribute: `EmbeddedLDAPMBean.AnonymousBindAllowed` Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
