Configuring OUD on weblogic

Installing OUD and setup ODSM (Oracle Directory Service Manager) console is available at this link -

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E22289_01/html/821-1274/installing-ojd.html

To configure OUD as authentication provider you need to configure a new provider by selecting "Iplanet authenticator". Move the newly created provider at the top in the list of authentication providers.

Select the OUD provider and go to provider specific tab. Enter the values as below -

User from name filter: (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=person))

User Name Attribute: cn

User Object Class: person

Group Base DN: dc=oracle,dc=com

Group From Name Filter: (&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupofentries))

Static Group Name Attribute: cn

Static Group Object Class: groupofentries

Static Member DN Attribute: member

Static Group DNs from Member DNFilter:(&(member=%M)(objectclass=groupofentries))

NOTE - Remember to set "entryuuid" in the last property i.e. GUIDAttribute of provider specific tab for OUD authenticator.

In SOA 11.1.1.6 you also need to the set virtualize=true as shown in the screen shots below -

WSDL With Multiple Bindings

A service can be exposed on multiple protocols for e.g. web service having one operation exposed over SOAP/HTTP can also support SOAP/SMTP protocol. The only additional part required in WSDL is a binding element with correct transport. A sample WSDL is given below -
