# Registering LDAP IDS and Creating Related Portal Objects

After you have run the installation wizard and verified correct installation you must register, create, and implement LDAP IDS and its objects into the portal. This section includes information on the following topics:

- Registering LDAP IDS
- Creating a Remote Authentication Source
- Creating a Remote Profile Source

## Registering LDAP IDS

The portal registers new identity services when you migrate them into the portal using the Migration Wizard. When you register the identity service, you import the remote server and Web services for the LDAP IDS.

Note: | You must have administrative rights in the portal to deploy the migration packages for the Web Components and portlets.

To register LDAP IDS:

1. Log in to the portal as an administrator.
2. Click Administration.
3. In the Select Utilities menu, select Migration - Import.
4. Browse to the migration package. If you accepted installation defaults, the location is: \\<LDAPIDSHostComputer>\bea\alui\ptldapaws\2.2\serverpackages\
   IdentityService-LDAP.pte
5. Click Load Package.
6. Click Finish.

## Creating a Remote Authentication Source

Create a remote authentication source to import users and groups from LDAP:

1. Log in to the portal as an administrator.
2. Click Administration.
3. Click the LDAP IDS folder.
4. From the Create Object menu, choose Authentication Source - Remote.
5. In the Choose Web Service dialog box, choose LDAP IDS.
6. Configure the authentication source as described in the online help.

Stay logged in to the portal with the LDAP IDS folder open for the next procedure.

## Creating a Remote Profile Source

Create a remote profile source to import users’ profile information from LDAP. To create a remove profile source, in the LDAP IDS folder of the portal’s Administrative Object Directory:

1. From the Create Object menu, choose Profile Source - Remote.
2. In the Choose Web Service dialog box, choose LDAP IDS.
3. Configure the profile source as described in the online help.
