List of possible states of an LDAP server configuration object.
The state of an LDAP server configuration object is maintained persistently on
writeable databases in the ISYSLDAPSERVER system table to provide
visibility for administrators into LDAP user authentication. If an LDAP server
configuration object is restarted, the state at the time of shutdown is retained. This
permits maintenance on an LDAP server configuration object to remain in force throughout
restarts. With read-only databases, state changes are not stored persistently –
they occur only in memory, and are lost when the database is shut down. The connection
state is set at start-up using the value from a read-only database, and transient state
changes may occur in memory to provide LDAP user authentication.
The possible states of an LDAP server configuration object include:
- RESET – one or more attributes on the LDAP server configuration object have been
entered or modified since last activation.
- READY – the LDAP server configuration object is ready to accept connections.
- ACTIVE – the LDAP server configuration object has performed at least one successful
LDAP user authentication.
- FAILED – there is a problem connecting to the LDAP server configuration object.
- SUSPENDED – the LDAP server configuration object is in maintenance mode, and is
unavailable for LDAP user authentication.
