    Thank you for the suggestion. WebSphere is compliant with the LDAP spec, and will work with any LDAP repository that is also compliant. Not all LDAP repositories are available in the drop-down, but the Custom option can be used along with the appropriate filters to configure WebSphere to work with any compliant repository. The requirement to add Ping Directory as a drop-down option does have merit, but looking at it with respect to our total backlog of requests we do not see sufficient interest in this enhancement to merit delivery any time in the foreseeable future. Given the unlikelihood that we would deliver this, we are declining the request rather than leaving it in an uncommitted state for an extended period of time. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.
