Choosing a Directory Service for a Virtual Server

You can assign a particular directory service for a particular virtual server. When you do so, the directory service you choose is logged under the USERDB element of the corresponding VS (virtual server) element in the server.xml file. The rights and permissions associated with this directory service is later used by the server to evaluate and enforce access control rules.
