Configure a Single LDAP Authentication Provider as the Authenticator
This topic explains how to reconfigure Oracle Analytics Server to use a single LDAP authentication provider by disabling the default WebLogic Server LDAP authenticator.
When you install Oracle Analytics Server, the system is automatically configured to use WebLogic Server LDAP as the default authenticator. The install process automatically generates the required users and groups in WebLogic Server LDAP. If you may have your own LDAP directory, for example, Oracle Internet Directory, that you want to use as the default authenticator, you must disable the WebLogic Server default authenticator. A single source authentication provider prevents deriving user names and passwords from multiple authentication sources which could lead to multiple points of attack, or entry from unauthorized users.
