How to protect ROOT user password in production & connect to LDAP server?

Step 1:

Add the entry in web.xml of the J2EE project

<env-entry> 

<description>

Password for jndi

</description> 

<env-entry-name>

jndi-password

</env-entry-name> 

<env-entry-value>

welcome123

</env-entry-value> 

<env-entry-type>

java.lang.String

</env-entry-type> 

</env-entry>

Step 2:

Lookup the password by using JNDI lookup as following

Context initial = new InitialContext(); 

Context environment = (Context)initial.lookup("java:comp/env"); 

String password = (String)environment.lookup("jndi-password");

Step 3:

Deploy the application in an OC4J using Enterprise Manager. For eg. I have deployed the application “HomePortlet” in oc4j_test.

Step 4: Navigate to the web module of the application, Click on environment link as shown below

Step 5: Update the “Deployed Value” in the environment entries heading and click “apply”.
