Virtual Member Manager issue with Portal 6.1 integrated with external LDAP

[sgre...@triloggroup.com]

I have a java code which do a person search by using the VMM API. This code works fine in portal process and in an external java process when the Portal 6.1 is not integrated with an external LDAP.
When Portal 6.1 is integrated with an external LDAP (tryed with Domino and Tivoly Directory Server), this code work fine from a separate process but throws exception when it runs in Portal process.

Here is an extract of the code:
-----------------------------------
// init LocalServiceProvider
..
Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
environment.put(LocalServiceProvider.PROVIDER_URL, providerUrl);
vmmService = new LocalServiceProvider(environment);
..
AuthData authData = startSecureBlock();
try {
// create search data object
DataObject root = SDOHelper.createRootDataObject();
DataObject searchCtrl = SDOHelper.createControlDataObject(root, null, SchemaConstants.DO_SEARCH_CONTROL);
searchCtrl.getList(SchemaConstants.PROP_SEARCH_BASES).add(suffixe);
searchCtrl.setString(SchemaConstants.PROP_SEARCH_EXPRESSION, filter);

// call the servicee
root = vmmService.search(root);
...
} finally {
endSecureBlock(authData);
}
-------------------------------------

Executing this code in an extrenal java process work fine but I have the following error when I executed it in portal java process:

I called this code from a java portlet. The war of this portlet doesn't content any emf libraries.

Does any one was able to call VMM search API with external LDAP integration?

Does any one as any syggestion about this strange error "The feature 'root's type 'RootType' does not permit a value of type 'RootType'"?

Thanks

This is not a Portal question. You should try it in WebSphere forum.

This problem doesn't appear with application deployed in Websphere Application Server, only in Websphere Portal.
