Use the ODBC DataSource Administrator to enable directory services on Microsoft Windows platform.

  1. Launch the ODBC DataSource Administrator.
  2. Select the datasource that you want to use and choose Configure.

  4. In the Directory Service Information group, provide the complete URL in the URL field. You can also provide the user name in the User ID field and the LDAP Service Name in the Service Name field, to log in to the LDAP server.
This is an example of the attributes you must specify in the connection string:
DSURL = ldaps://huey:636/dc=sybase,dc=com????
bindname=cn=Manager,dc=Sybase,dc=com?secret
DSServiceName = myAse
The Certificate Authority signing certificate used to sign the LDAP server’s certificate must be installed in the Microsoft Certificate Store.
