WARNING! Most LDAP servers have an ldapadd utility for adding directory entries. Sybase recommends that you use dsedit instead, as it has built-in semantic checks that generic tools do not provide.
dsedit is a graphical utility that allows you to add, delete and modify servers in the libtcl*.cfg and sql.ini files. Before you can add, delete, or modify an LDAP server entry, you must add the LDAP URL to the libtcl*.cfg file. See “The libtcl.cfg and libtcl64.cfg files”.
Adding a server to the directory service using dsedit
Use dsedit to add server to the directory service:
From the Windows task bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase | dsedit.
Select LDAP from the list of servers, and click OK.
Click Add New Server Entry.
Enter:
The server name – required.
Security mechanism – optional. A list of security mechanism OIDs are located in %SYBASE%\ini\objectid.dat.
HA server name – optional. This is the name of the high-availability failover server, if you have one.
Click Add New Network Transport.
Select the transport type from the drop-down list.
Enter the host name.
Enter the port number.
Click OK twice to exit the dsedit utility.
To view the server entries, enter the following URL in a Netscape or Mozilla- based Web browser:
ldap://host:port/ditbase??one
For example:
ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one
Microsoft Internet Explorer does not recognize LDAP URLs.
