I want to configure LDAP authentication for two of my servers (four JVMs), but not the other server (two JVMs). In other words, I want my normal users to have the LDAP and maybe even SSO capabilities when they log in, but I also want to be able to use dummy accounts to model after specific users for troubleshooting.
All the LDAP configs seems to suggest this could be done, if I build the EARs for my UI servers differently than the cron/reports/integration server.
Has anyone done this? If not, I'm going to try to be the first.

Sorry for the late reply, but one way that we've been able to have the best of both worlds with minimal configuration is to use a file-based repository as part of a Federated Repository Realm in WebSphere. Typically your wasadmin user is already part of that repository, so you just need to start adding users. No need to have different EAR files, or instance properties, or anything like that. You can create as many users as you'd like in the file-based repository, and so long as there is a matching User record in Maximo, you're set.
Here's a good article on working with file-based repositories in Maximo:
