LDAP Authentication Module

Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree but I assume it is possible to use

an external LDAP server to authenticate users to the portal. The

external LDAP server just authenticates the user while the profile is

stored in the internal iPlanet directory.

I have configured the LDAP authentication module with suitable settings

but when I try to authenticate using this method the authentication

fails everytime.

I have Unix auth also configured which works and I have a profile in the

portal.

I get an error message in the portal authentication logs about checking

my dn filter etc. but in actual fact no authentication request is being

made of the external directory. There is no traffic at all between the

portal and the external directory.

I am trying to get this working for an evaluation. Using service pack 3a.

Make sure that after configuring the external LDAP server you have restarted the Gateway and Server.
