The base distinguished name (DN) of the tree in the LDAP directory that contains groups. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Group Search Scope |
Specifies how deep in the LDAP directory tree to search for groups. Valid values are subtree and onelevel. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Group From Name Filter |
An LDAP search filter for finding a group given the name of the group.

If the attribute is not specified (that is, if the attribute is null or empty), a default search filter is created based on the Group schema. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Static Group Object Class |
The name of the LDAP object class that stores static groups. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Static Group Name Attribute |
The attribute of a static LDAP group object that specifies the name of the group. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |

The attribute of a static LDAP group object that specifies the distinguished names (DNs) of the members of the group. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Static Group DNs from Member DN Filter |
An LDAP search filter that, given the distinguished name (DN) of a member of a group, returns the DNs of the static LDAP broups that contain that member. If the attribute is not specified (that is, if the attribute is null or empty), a default search filter is created based on the group schema. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Dynamic Group Object Class |
The LDAP object class that stores dynamic groups. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Dynamic Group Name Attribute |
The attribute of a dynamic LDAP group object that specifies the name of the group. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Dynamic Member URL Attribute |
The attribute of the dynamic LDAP group object that specifies the URLs of the members of the dynamic group. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Host |
The host name or IP address of the Novell LDAP server. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Port |
The port number on which the Novell LDAP server is listening. MBean Attribute: Minimum value: Maximum value: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| SSLEnabled |
Specifies whether the SSL protocol should be used when connecting to the Novell LDAP server. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Connection Retry Limit |
Specifies the number of times to attempt to connect to the LDAP server if the initial connection failed. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Principal |
The Distinguished Name (DN) of the Novell LDAP user that WebLogic Server should use to connect to the Novell LDAP server. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Credential |
The credential (usually a password) used to connect to the Novell LDAP server. If this password has not been set, WebLogic Server generates a password at startup, initializes the attribute, and saves the configuration to the config.xml file. If you want to connect to the embedded LDAP server using an external LDAP browser and the embedded LDAP administrator account (cn=Admin), change this attribute from the generated value. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Cache Enabled |
Specifies whether a cache is used with the Novell LDAP server This is a cache of the LDAP requests. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |

| Bind Anonymously On Referrals |
By default, the Novell Authentication provider uses the same DN and password used to connect to the LDAP server when following referrals during a search. If you want to connect as an anonymous user, enable this attribute. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Results Time Limit |
The maximum number of milliseconds for the LDAP server to wait for results before timing out. If this attribute is set to 0, there is not maximum time limit.. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Connect Timeout |
The maximum time in seconds to wait for the connection to the LDAP server to be established. If this attribute is set to 0, there is not a maximum time limit. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Parallel Connect Delay |
The delay in seconds when making concurrent attempts to attempt to multiple LDAP servers. If this attribute is set to 0, connection attempts are serialized. An attempt is made to connect to the first server in the list. The next entry in the list is tried only if the attempt to connect to the current host fails. If this attribute is not set and an LDAP server is unavailable, an application may be blocked for a long time. If this attribute is greater than 0, another connection is started after the specified time. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Group Membership Searching |
Specifies whether group searches into nested groups are unlimited or limited. Valid values are unlimited and limited.For configurations that use only the first level of nested group hierarchy, this attribute allows improved performance during user searches by limiting the search to the first level of the group. If a limited search is specified, the Max Group Membership Search Level attribute must be specified. If an unlimited search is specified, the Max Group Membership Search Level attribute is ignored. Note that when Use Token Groups For Group Membership Lookup is used during authentication, all the groups are returned in a single call, and the recursion limits and depth limits do not apply. They will apply in management operations. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
| Max Group Membership Search Level |
Specifies how many levels of group membership can be searched. This setting is valid only if GroupMembershipSearching is set to limited. Valid values are 0 and positive integers. For example, 0 indicates only direct group memberships will be found, and a positive number indicates the number of levels to search. Possible values are: 0 - Indicates only direct groups will be found. That is, when searching for membership in Group A, only direct members of Group A will be found. If Group B is a member of Group A, the members will not be found by this search. Any positive number - Indicates the number of levels to search. For example, if this attribute is set to 1, a search for membership in Group A will return direct members of Group A. If Group B is a member of Group A, the members of Group B will also be found by this search. However, if Group C is a member of Group B, the members of Group C will not be found by this search. Note that when Use Token Groups For Group Membership Lookup is used during authentication, all the groups are returned in a single call, and the recursion limits and depth limits do not apply. They will apply in management operations. MBean Attribute: Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server. |
