Overview

Note: The configuration of the functionality offered in the LDAP X509 Identity Assertion provider will change in future releases of WebLogic Server. This version of the LDAP X509 Identity Assertion provider is not upward compatible with future releases of WebLogic Server. In addition, the provider has only been tested with the Sun One LDAP server. For information about the usability of the LDAP X509 Identity Assertion provider, see the WebLogic Server Release Notes.

Use this tab to configure an LDAP X509 Identity Assertion provider for a security realm.

The LDAP X509 Identity Assertion provider receives an X509 certificate, looks up the LDAP object for the user associated with that certificate, ensures that the certificate in the LDAP object matches the presented certificate, and then retrieves the name of the user from the LDAP object.
