To use directory services, add the following properties to the ConnectString:�
DSURL= ldap://SYBLDAP:389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one?sybase Servername=MANGO
The URL is an LDAP URL and uses LDAP libraries to resolve the URL.
To support high availability on the LDAP server, the DSURL accepts multiple URLs. Separate each URL with a semicolon. For example:
DSURL={ldap://SYBLDAP:389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one?sybaseServername=MANGO;
ldap://SYBLDAP1:389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one?sybaseServername=MANGO}
�The provider attempts to get the properties from the LDAP servers in the order specified.
�An example of DSURL follows:
ldap://hostport/dn[?attrs[?scope[?filter[?userdn?userpass]]]]
Where:
hostport is
a host name with an optional portnumber,
for example: SYBLDAP1:389
dn is the
search base, for example: dc=sybase,dc-com
attrs is
a comma-separated list of attributes requested from the LDAP server.
You must leave it blank. Data Provider requires all attributes.
scope is
one of three strings:
base (the
default) – searches the base
one – searches
immediate children
sub – searches
the sub tree
filter is
the search filter. Generally, is the sybaseServername.
You can leave it blank and set the Data Source or Server Name property
in the ConnectionString.
userdn is
the user's distinguished name (dn). If the LDAP server does not support
anonymous login you can set the user's dn here or else you can set the DSPrincipal property
in the ConnectionString.
userpass is
the password. If the LDAP server does not support anonymous login
you can set the password here or you can set the DSPassword property
in the ConnectionString.
The URL can contain sybaseServername or you can set the property “Server Name" to the service name of the LDAP Sybase server object.
The following properties are useful when using Directory Services:
DSURL–Set to LDAP URL. The default is an empty string.
Server–The Service Name of the LDAP Sybase server object. The default is an empty string.
DSPrincipal–The user name to log on to the LDAP server if it is not a part of DSURL and the LDAP server does not allow anonymous access.
DSPassword or Directory Service Password–The password to authenticate on the LDAP server if it is not a part of DSURL and the LDAP server does not allow anonymous access.
