I am using WebSpher Application Server 6.x on Windows 2003 Server.

I have created a Custom User Registry to handle some special authentication 
cases, but when I determine that I am not handling a special case, I would b
e happy to use the functionality provided by the WAS LDAP user registry.

Is an interface available to allow my Custom User Registry to interface to t
he WAS LDAP user registry?

thx,
Heidi

unfortunately not, AFAIK. You have to choose between using LDAP and
implementing a Custom registry - there's no way that I'm aware of to
_extend_ the LDAP registry.

Couldn't the Custom Registry implementation
make JNDI calls to one or more external LDAP registries?

Sure, but that is not re-using the WAS LDAP Registry implementation,
which is what the OP was asking about.
