Using an LDIF file enables you to specify additional user attributes that are not available through the WebLogic Server Administration Console. Configuring the Identity Store 28-13 As the embedded LDAP server is a conformant LDAP server, you can use LDAP commands to add or modify users. You can also search the directory, which is useful when exporting and importing user accounts. To add users to the embedded LDAP using an LDIF file you must perform the following tasks: ■ Enable External LDAP Access ■ Create an LDIF File ■ Add the Users Enable External LDAP Access When WebLogic Server is installed, the LDAP access credential is set as a randomized value and encrypted in the config.xml file. To enable external LDAP access, you must reset the access credential for the embedded LDAP. To reset the access credential for the embedded LDAP: 1. Log in to the WebLogic Server Administration Console. For information on logging into the WebLogic Server Administration Console, see Section 1.13.2, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. 2.
