Trouble setting up ldaprealm
James Smith
I'm having trouble connecting to an NDS server to set up a ldap realm
The system is WLS 5.1, Solaris 2.6, NDS eDirectory 8.5
We have successfully connected via JNDI and sevlets, however, cannot
connect to create a realm.
Have tried several million combinations, keep getting the error below.
The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
Exception raised: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
weblogic.security.ldaprealm.LDAPRealmException: cannot connect to
ldapserver without a principal to authenticate as

which isn't very helpful.
Don't really know why I have to connect with a principal user anyway as
accessing the directory as "public"
should be ok for password verification of users.
Have placed in weblogic.properties the line
weblogic.security.realmClass=weblogic.security.ldaprealm.LDAPRealm
and in the ldaprealm.properties file (in same location as
weblogic.properties file)
