Author WP and Active Directory in different domains, could that cause

I'm trying to configure WebSphere Portal to use Active Directory where WP is in one domain and AD in another (for instance portal.customer.com and ldap.systems.com). Both the validation and enable-ldap-security tasks runs fine (Build Successful) but we ar
e not able to log in, neither to WAS admin console or WP. We are just redirected back to the login screen without any error messages (if we enter something we know is wrong, we get an error message and it also logs the attempt to the log).

I have found something describing it for WP 5.1 (We are using 5.0.2.2) http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...tbl_access.html
but I'm having trouble understanding what they mean on issue number four (look for "Problem: Redirected back to login screen")

Hi,

It is better that you get your portal machine into the same domain as that of MSAD

Thanks & Regards

Yes, one of the requirements is it should be encased all in one domain.....

Hi

Yes, do what they told you. Also, check the file security.xml and look for the section that says SSO Domain. You can change that to see if that helps but then you *might* have problems with access.

Fixed it, it turned out to be a very simple solution, I had forgot to set the SSO domain, when I set it to the correct value (domain of WP) everything went just fine, and I was able to log on to the portal. Before that the browser had no LTPA-cookie, just
jsessionid.

Hi

Nice to hear it is working now. Although, did you have to change the domain of the WP?

No, I did not have to change to domain in WP. The key issue was to provide the sso domain parameter (WP-domain) in the config file. Then it turned out ok...
