Enable WebSphere Commerce Payments for use with LDAP
When WebSphere Commerce Payments is enabled for use with LDAP, keep the password for the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator in the WebSphere Commerce database synchronized with the LDAP password for the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator. You will not be able to access the WebSphere Commerce Payments console or the WebSphere Commerce Payments function in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator if you do not keep the two passwords synchronized.
To keep the password synchronized, change the password in the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator for the WebSphere Commerce database whenever you change the LDAP password for the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator.
