We are assuming the request is for an API to update the LDAP bind passwords. This is already possible using simple wsadmin scripts. If using a Standalone LDAP server you would do the following:
AdminTask.configureAdminLDAPUserRegistry(["-bindDN", bindID, "-bindPassword", bindPwd, "-verifyRegistry", "false"])AdminConfig.save()
secMBeans = AdminControl.queryNames("type=SecurityAdmin,*").splitlines()
for mbean in secMBeans:
AdminControl.invoke(mbean, "resetLdapBindInfo", [bindID, bindPwd])
If using a federated repository the following can be used instead:
rep = AdminTask.getIdMgrRepository(["-id", "myLDAP"])AdminTask.updateIdMgrLDAPBindInfo(["-id", rep, "-bindPassword", bindPwd, "-bindDN", bindID])Hi, I am not sure how the security team is going to reply, but tWAS/Liberty are agnostic how LDAP Servers, DB Servers, JMS Servers, etc store and maintain their passwords. They should comply with industry standards for retrieving data, writing data, but usually each vendor implements a different way of that security is maintained. It would be difficult for tWAS/Liberty to maintain this type of interaction for each vendor. If you have a specific vendor, then your application team should be able to update the password when needed through APIs provided by the vendor. -Brian
