JAVA: Connecting to Tivoli Directory Server (TDS)

A totally unpolished piece of code, but a working one:) Just put it out there as an example for other people trying to accomplish this. This is also able to retrieve Password Policy attributes from TDS (if a Password Policy was defined).
public class LdapTest {

      public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException {

        // Create your search string
         String userId = "mytestuser";
         String INITIAL_ENTRY = "uid" + "=" + userId +
            ",cn=" + "users" +
            "," + "dc=ibm,dc=com";

        String pwdChangedTime = "";
        InitialLdapContext ctx = null;
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://myhostname.com:389");
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=root");
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "rootpassword");
        env.put("java.naming.ldap.version", "3");
        ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
        Attribute attr = null;
     
            // Set up Search Controls
            SearchControls sc = new SearchControls();
            sc.setSearchScope(SearchControls.OBJECT_SCOPE);
            String[] userAttrList = {"sn", "cn", "pwdChangedTime", "pwdAccountLockedTime", "pwdFailureTime", "ibm-pwdIndividualPolicyDN"};
            sc.setReturningAttributes(userAttrList);
         
           NamingEnumeration ne = ctx.search(INITIAL_ENTRY,"(objectclass=*)", sc);

                     while(ne.hasMore()){
                        SearchResult searchresult = (SearchResult) ne.next();
                        Attributes attrs = searchresult.getAttributes();
                        NamingEnumeration ae = attrs.getAll();
                        while (ae.hasMore()) {
                            System.out.println(ae.nextElement());
                        }
                    }
                }      
    }

Creating a Custom WebSphere Portal 8 Theme with the Eclipse IDE

This is a very good IBM article on how to get started with your own custom theme for WebSphere Portal 8:  Deploying and developing IBM WebSphere Portal 8 themes: A step-by-step guide A couple of notes: While the article is mentioning RAD as a preffered tool, I was successfully able to use Eclipse IDE (with the WAS 8 server connector plugin provided by IBM).  I was working on Linux and I used the command line to mount the WebDAV shares ( WebDav Client on Linux ). You can also use Nautilus to connect to the WebDAV shares.
