Open the Weblogic Console at http://<VSMGUI IP>:7001/console/ and log in.
There are two platforms with unique credentials for the Weblogic Console login:
For the Linux x86-64 server platform, log in as user weblogic using the password weblogic1.
For the LDOM on VSMc (Solaris) server platform, log in as user admin using the password vsm6SQLadm.
Click the Lock & Edit button in the upper left Change Center window.
From the Domain Structure window, select Security Realms.
From the Summary of Security Realms window, select myrealm.
In the Settings for myrealm window, click the Providers tab and ensure that the Authentication tab is selected.
Click the New button, which will open the Create a New Authentication Provider window. For the Name field, enter LDAP Server. In the Type field, select ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator. Click OK. You will be returned to the Settings for myrealm window, with LDAP Server at the bottom of the list.
Click the Reorder button. The available Authentication Providers will be listed. Click the LDAP Server check box, and use the controls to the right to move it to the top of the list. Click OK to be returned to the Settings for myrealm window. The LDAP Server Provider should now be at the top of the list.
Click LDAP Server. You will be taken to the Settings for LDAP Server window. Under the Common tab, change the Control Flag value to SUFFICIENT. Click Save.
Click the Provider Specific tab. You will be presented with a screen that has several fields to edit. For each field, enter the values as described in Table 2:
Once the above entries have all be set, click the Save button. This will return to the Settings for LDAP Server page with notifications at the top stating that a process or processes need to be restarted.
Click the Activate Changes button in the upper left Change Center window.
Log out of the Console. Then stop and restart the Weblogic service.
Once the service is up, go back into the Console. Select Security Realms, then myrealm, as was done before. Click the Users and Groups tab. If the configuration worked properly, you should now see a list of all the users you added to the VSM Users group when you configured the Active Directory Service. This completes the Active Service and Weblogic configuration.
