Manage LDAP User Authentication with SAP Sybase IQ

Management includes the creation, modification and option maintenance of the LDAP server configuration object to facilitate LDAP user authentication.

• Adding LDAP User Authentication as a Login Method
  To enable LDAP user authentication, you must add the value LDAPUA to the LOGIN_MODE database option.
• Setting the TLS Connection Trusted Relationship
  Define the location and file name that contains the trusted relationship to be used for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to the external LDAP server for user authentication.
• Creating an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Create a new LDAP server configuration object to allow LDAP user authentication.
• Validating an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Validate changes to the attribute of an existing LDAP server configuration object.
• Activating an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Activate an LDAP server configuration object by setting the connection state to READY. This enables LDAP user authentication.
• Editing LDAP Server Configuration Object Attributes
  Modify the existing attributes on an LDAP server. Any changes to the attributes are applied on subsequent connections. Any connection already open when the change is applied does not immediately reflect the change.
• Refreshing an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Reinitialize the LDAP server. The command fails if the connection state of the LDAP server is not in an ACTIVE or READY state.
• Suspending an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Put an LDAP server into maintenance mode. All connections to the LDAP server are closed and LDAP user authentication is no longer available.
• Deleting an LDAP Server Configuration Object
  Delete an LDAP server configuration object that is not in a READY or ACTIVE state.
• LDAP Server Configuration Object States
  List of possible states of an LDAP server configuration object.
• Enabling Secure LDAP
  Secure LDAP uses TLS certificate authentication to provide protection against spoofing. 
• Syntax and Parameters for the LDAP Server Configuration Object URL
  The URL identifies the host (by name or by IP address), port number, and search to be performed when executing a secure distinguished name (DN) lookup to the LDAP server.
• LDAP User Authentication Login Policy Options
  There are several login policy options that are specific to LDAP user authentication. You must define these options in any login policy (including root) assigned to any user using LDAP user authentication.
