Rich UI access to LDAP

To customize a Rich UI project to access an LDAP-compliant server, use the Rich UI LDAP access sample. The sample contains instructions to gain this access and provides files containing code you can use in your projects.
Allow at least 45 minutes to complete this sample. If you do not have a IBM® WebSphere® Application Server and LDAP-compliant server available, more time is needed to complete the installation and configuration.

When you import the sample, it creates the appropriate projects for you to explore. For instructions on how to import and run the application, click Setup for Rich UI access to LDAP.

In this sample, you will retrieve data from an LDAP-compliant server for either an employee or customer of Sample Company. The Rich UI application starts by displaying a login screen. Enter a user ID and password, which the Rich UI handler uses to call a web service to bind to the server. If the bind is successful (that is, the user ID and password are found in the LDAP directory), you are authenticated. The web service then retrieves user data, such as a department and business unit for an employee or a company name and address for a customer, from the LDAP-compliant server. The web service returns the data to the Rich UI handler, which displays the data on the screen.
