Author Any LDAP gurus here?

I have posted a LDAP question twice and gotten no replies. Maybe I was not
detailed enough so here I go again.

Our LDAP has a root ou called users. Under it are ou=external and
ou=internal. When a user self registers the user is created under the root
ou users. We need it to be created under the external ou. I have changed the
userDefaultBase="ou=users,o=keep" to
userDefaultBase="ou=external,ou=users,o=keep" In the wms.xml file. This has
no effect. I have even deleted this entry completely expecting an error to
be thrown when a user tries to register. No error was thrown and the user
was created under the users ou. Where else do I need to change this setting?

Thanks for any help,

During installation of portal you need to specify the path where the user is created. Example You should have selected customize LDAP and specify the entire fully qualified name where the user and groups are oraganised.
You can probably check the ConfigService.properties but i doubt if you get anything related to specifying the apth for where your users are created

As you suspected ConfigService.properties was a dead end. I finally got an
answer from level 2 support and what seems to be working are changes that I
had to make in the WMS database. In the ORGENTITY table for
ORGENTITY_ID -2000 I added the ou=external to it's DN entry. The same had to
be done in the MEMBER table for UNIQUE_ID and TRUNC_UNIQUE_ID. Out side of
questions regarding these tables this seems to have resolved the issue. I
posted this on the off chance someone else runs into the same issue.

Thank you for you reply and help
