Service keys are needed to decrypt the password for LDAP administration accounts when Adaptive Server authenticates users during the LDAP user authentication process. Until authentication is complete, users cannot log in using LDAP. An authorized user that can authenticate locally using Adaptive Server authentication can manually enter the master key password using:
use master go set encryption passwd password for key master go
See the chapter on external authentication in the Security Administration Guide for details on configuring LDAP user authentication.
