I have WebSphere 5 with Domino 6 on the same box. I configured Websphere to use the Domino Directory via LDAP. In the Admin console for Domino it finds the users when I go to add a new console user and will also let that user login and use the admin console. But, when I type in a group it says it can’t find the group when I click the add button.
Also when deploying an application I can search and find users to assign to roles but if I search for groups it does not find any…
Is there anything special you have to do to get WebSphere to recognize the Domino Directory groups via LDAP?

Subject: WebSphere Server does not find Domino groups?
Have you tried to search your groups by entering a part of the groupname in the searchbox together with the wildcard () character? For example "LocalAd" to retrieve all groups which start with “LocalAd” like “LocalAdministrators”. That’s what I had to do to select (Domino) groups in WebSphere.

We had the same problem because of the Base DN in the LDAP Search.
If you have a LDAP Search Base like “O=Your organisation”, then your group must be named “your group/your organisation” in the directory.
What you can do is simply have your base field blank. No Base filter ! And you can see everything…
See technote 1092442
Subject: Thanks, yes that worked but
be aware that WebSphere server 5.0 has a problem with Domino and not having the base DN set. This was fixed in 5.01. This was per IBM technical support…
