For you to use Open Client directory services in your application, all of the following must be true:
You are accessing an Adaptive Server database server using Open Client Client-Library (CT-Lib) 11.x or later software
You have the required Sybase-supported directory service provider software and Sybase-supplied directory driver properly installed and configured for your environment. Depending on your operating system platform, examples of supported security mechanisms include: the Windows Registry, Distributed Computing Environment Cell Directory Services (DCE/CDS), Banyan StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA), and Novell NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
You must be able to access a secure Adaptive Server server using Open Client 11.1.x or later software from outside DataWindow Designer.
To verify the connection, use a tool such as ISQL or SQL Advantage to make sure you can connect to the server and log in to the database with the same connection parameters and directory service options you plan to use in your DataWindow Designer application.
You are using the ASE or SYC Adaptive Server interface to access the database.
You must use the correct syntax as required by your directory service provider when specifying the server name in a database profile. Different providers require different syntax based on their format for specifying directory entry names.
For information and examples for different directory service providers, see “Specifying the server name with Open Client directory services”.
You have set the Release DbParameter parameter to 11 or higher to specify that your application should use the behavior of the appropriate version of the Open Client CT-Lib software.
For instructions, see Release (Adaptive Server Enterprise) in the online Help.
The directory service provider and driver you are using must support the service requested by the DbParameter parameter.
