## Overview

Use this page to configure the LDAP security realm. LDAP security realm supports the use of Open LDAP, Netscape iPlanet, Microsoft Site Server, or Novell NDS LDAP servers.

When using the LDAP security realm, you must configure a Caching realm. When configuring the Caching realm, choose the LDAP security realm as the Basic realm. The Basic attribute defines the association between the Caching realm and the LDAP security realm.

To use the LDAP security realm, you need to use Compatibility security. The use of the LDAP security realm is deprecated in this release of WebLogic Server.
