hi…
We were trying to authenticate web users using non-domino ldap…
basically we want the web users authentication request to goto names.nsf first then if the user is not found then look on for them in an external ldap.
the steps we followed are
-
Created DA for the external LDAP
-
On a test.nsf file’s ACL we added the external ldap users.
But when trying to authenticate, it fails cuz it looks only in names.nsf…
how do we redirect the authentication request after the user is not found on domino directory to an external ldap?
Thanks…

There is a good IBM redbook on the subject;

To start with the obvious: What do you mean by “created DA”? Did you verify that DA is actually configured in the server document and really in use, e.g. by including another Notes Directory?

DA is sometime not configured automatically.
Check if you can see the label Directory in the configuration panel.
Also, you need to check ‘Trusted Credentials’ to yes in the mapping tab. Otherwise you wont be able to login.
And there could be a configuration problem since that should work right out the box.
POst your DA configuration (the 3 tabs) and which LDAP are you using. And how you add it in the ACL.
