JDev/ADF sample - WebCenter 11g PS3/PS4 Aggregating Multiple WebLogic LDAP Security Providers (Virtualize = True)

  • WebCenter 11g PS3/PS4 Aggregating Multiple WebLogic LDAP Security Providers (Virtualize = True). There is one tricky thing about WebCenter 11g PS3/PS4 services you should definitely know. Its related to WebLogic LDAP security providers. WebCenter always consumes only first WebLogic security provider from available providers list. Even SUFFICIENT flag is set for security provider, WebCenter still is using only first one. Thats sounds like a huge limitation, indeed it was before WebCenter 11g PS3/P4 - it was documented. But know situation is much better, we are not constrained anymore with only one single LDAP security provider configuration on WebLogic. I will describe in this blog post, how you can enable virtual aggregator for all defined security providers in WebLogic, so WebCenter will be able to retrieve user data from multiple LDAP servers. For additional info, I would recommend to read WebCenter Developer Guide - 28.7 Aggregating Multiple Identity Store LDAP Servers Using libOVD and Oracle FMW Security Guide 7.3.1.1 Configuring Multi-LDAP Lookup.
