RE: WebSphere LDAP Integration on i5

We've been running WebSphere on OS/400 here since version 1.1 and we
haven't had any problems that were related to WebSphere (mostly bad apps
and we have had JDBC issues but those were fixed with database PTFs).
Earlier versions of hardware and OS weren't exactly speedy (8xx hardware
or newer and V5R1 or newer work very well, 7xx hardware is okay for
simple apps but since you're on an i5, you should be okay there) and
you'll need plenty of memory dedicated to it (at least a gig if you have
a small number of simple apps, are using an Express version, and have
low traffic volume, more memory is better). The cost of memory is one
thing that usually gets people but the prices on it went down recently
(I think they're priced inline with pSeries) so that shouldn't be as
bad.

I haven't used LDAP within Java on OS/400 but there's no reason there
should be any problems.

Subject: [WEB400] WebSphere LDAP Integration on i5

Is anyone running WAS on i5 and integrating LDAP?  

I'd like to hear some real-life experience on how this works.

 

I've had response for running WAS in i5 stating that it's a bad idea
from
another list (Java on and around the iSeries).  Any dissenting opinions
or
confirmations?

 

 

Much appreciated...
