Adding an LDAP Provider to the Admin Security Configuration

Modify the "admin" security configuration to add an LDAPLoginModule on the Authentication tab. Order this new provider and set the control flag attribute according to instructions, so this provider can be tested before the production-ready configuration are finalized.

Configure the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain to authenticate only platform and domain administrators. Do not use this security configuration ("admin" on "default") for MBO packages and mobile users; you must create a custom security configuration for this purpose.

  1. In the navigation pane of Sybase Control Center, expand the Security folder, then click the security configuration named admin.
  2. In the administration pane, click the Authentication tab.
  3. Add an LDAPLoginModule, configuring the providerURL, serverType, bind user, bind password, search base, and other properties determined by you and the LDAP administrator.
  4. Add a ControlFlag attribute for the configured LDAP login module, and set the value to sufficient.
  5. Make the LDAP module the first module in the list.
    Note: Do not remove the PreConfiguredUser login module from the list of login modules used by the "admin" security configuration until the LDAP login module has been tested.
  6. Select the General tab, select Validate then Apply.
  7. Click OK.
