Disabling LDAP

You can disable LDAP using the Configuration Manager.

About this task

Disabling LDAP will cause the following results:

  • Users created after enabling LDAP in WebSphere Commerce will not be able to authenticate to WebSphere Commerce because their passwords do not exist in the WebSphere Commerce database.
  • Users who changed their passwords after enabling LDAP in WebSphere Commerce can only access WebSphere Commerce using the password they had before LDAP was enabled. Their current (LDAP) password will no longer work with WebSphere Commerce.
  • Users must log in to WebSphere Commerce using the a full LDAP-style ID. For example, a person with a user ID of wcsadmin must log in as uid=wcsadmin, o=root organization.
