How many users can be created in the default weblogic LDAP for OBIEE 12c if we have oracle ula (lice

Question

Hello ,

How many users can be created in the default weblogic LDAP for OBIEE 12c if we have oracle ula (licence).

We have around 500 users in total and was trying to configure external table authentication. Unfortunately it is not working and failing in the database adapter configuration. Is it possible to create 500 users in default LDAP in weblogic. Isit possible to add users in a bulk to the default ldap, than creating it one by one?

THanks

Had missed that point. good that Gianni pointed it out.

Better fix the issue rather than going for a less-than-good solution. Make things work and don't do mediocre workarounds.

Why don't you try to look into that and fix this one instead of looking to manage your users inside the embedded LDAP?

It's really not the best way for real (prod) environments ...

Don't you have a corporate LDAP/AD which can take care of the authentication at least ? (so matching username/passwords)

You can then use the adapter to get users -> app roles mappings from the DB (this one totally work).

If you can avoid to manage username/password it's better, so your users will also find it more comfortable to reuse their credentials. And then you are free to use your own authorizations (app roles membership) and not use the corporate LDAP/AD at all for that.
