Access Manager 7.1 on WebLogic Server requires new ldapjdk.jar File (6774634)

Sun provides a new ldapjdk.jar file that includes security and performance related fixes for Access Manager 7.1 patch 2. However, the Sun ldapjdk.jar won't be effective on WebLogic Server because weblogic.jar bundles an older ldapjdk.jar file.

Workaround. Put the Sun ldapjdk.jar ahead of weblogic.jar in the CLASSPATH, as follows:

1. Download the new Sun LDAP JDK patch (ldapjdk.jar) for your platform, as described in the note under Access Manager 7.1 Patch 2.

2. Copy the Sun ldapjdk.jar to the WebLogic lib directory.

   For example, on Windows:BEA_HOME\weblogic92\server\lib

3. Prefix the path to this ldapjdk.jar to the existing classpath. by editing the startup script used to start WebLogic Server. In the following examples, BEA_HOME is where WebLogic Server is installed.

   On Windows, edit:

   BEA_HOME\weblogic92\samples\domains\wl_server\bin\startWebLogic.cmd

   Change set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%MEDREC_WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH% to:

   set CLASSPATH=BEA_HOME\weblogic92\server\lib\ldapjdk.jar;%CLASSPATH%;%MEDREC_WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%
   

   On Solaris or Linux, edit:

   /bea/weblogic92/samples/domains/wl_server/bin/startWebLogic.sh

   or

   /usr/local/bea/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh

   Change CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}${CLASSPATHSEP}${MEDREC_WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH}" to:

   CLASSPATH="BEA_HOME/weblogic92/server/lib/ldapjdk.jar${CLASSPATH}${CLASSPATHSEP}${MEDREC_WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH}"

4. Restart WebLogic Server.
