You might want to try it and see if it works - in general WAS will work
with any LDAP, even if not explicitly supported (which really just means
that IBM has tested with it)

Building a custom registry is complicated, don't underestimate that. You
have to understand that security initialization happens before the
appserver is fully up and running, so not all components are available.
Also the Node Agent and Deployment Manager need access to the CUR, and
at least the Node doesn't have a J2EE infrastructure.

Is not that it isn't recommended, it's that it won't work. You wil
either have to roll your own connection pooling or use whatever your
jdbc driver provides.
