Configuring OpenLDAP in WSO2 Identity Server 5.11.0

In this brief post, I’m going to show the configuration entries needed to configure OpenLDAP, which is an open source LDAP server, as the primary user store in the WSO2 IS.

WSO2 Identity Server architecture is such that you can configure a single primary user store and multiple secondary user stores in the server. Primary user store is shared among all the tenants within the product. Product supports couple of types of user stores; JDBC User Store (a database will be the user store), Read Write LDAP user store (An LDAP that can be read and written), Read-Only LDAP user store (An LDAP that can only be read from the server) and Active Directory User Store (A specialized LDAP user store for Microsoft Active Directory).

For this post I recommend you follow one of my previous post on configuring and working on OpenLDAP here. In that I have created a organizationUnit named ‘dc=shazni,dc=com’. Create it as ‘dc=wso2,dc=com’ for this post.

Also assuming you don’t have any users under the employees, let’s add the ‘admin’ which needs to exists to access the portals for WSO2 Identity Server.
