LDAP is only supported with reentrant libraries. You
must use isql_r, instead of isql,
when connecting to a server using LDAP directory services.
Setting up to use a directory service
Configure the LDAP server according to the vendor-supplied documentation.
Add the LDAP library directory to your path for your platform. For example:
PATH=%PATH%:%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\lib3p
Configure the libtcl*.cfg file to use directory services. Use any standard ASCII text editor to:
Remove the semicolon (;) comment markers from the beginning of the LDAP URL lines in the libtcl*.cfg file under the [DIRECTORY] entry.
Add the LDAP URL under the [DIRECTORY] entry. See Table 5-2 for supported LDAP URL values.
WARNING! The LDAP URL must be on a single line.
ldap=libdldap.so ldap://host:port/ditbase??scope????
bindname=username password
For example:
[DIRECTORY]
ldap=libdldap.so ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??
one????bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com secret
“one” indicates the scope of a search that retrieves entries one level below the DIT base. Table 5-3 defines the keywords for the ldapurl variables.
