If you create a container in which to add names, it should be an Organizational Unit such as OU=Users,DC=yourfirm,DC=com. This can be placed at any level in the LDAP directory if all DNs described below are changed appropriately.
If the DNs currently being used have any of the previously described special character restrictions, then create a new Posix User: CN=VSM Administrator,... This user will be the login user for Weblogic and allows Weblogic to access the LDAP server.
Create a password for the VSM Administrator, if applicable. Make a note of this password, as it is required for the Weblogic configuration.
For any users that will use the VSM GUI application but do not currently exist in the LDAP, add them to the Users' Organizational Unit. To add users to this OU, perform the following:
Create the actual member: (CN=johndoe,OU=Users,...) with default attributes.
Create a password for that user.
If using the Users object described above, then add the user to the member attribute of the Users object (OU=Users,...). Otherwise, ensure that the user is part of whatever group is defined as the User Base.
5. Save the configuration. This will vary from client to client, and may not be required at all. Consult the documentation for your LDAP client for details
