LDAP is only supported with reentrant libraries. You
must use isql_r, instead of isql,
when connecting to a server using LDAP directory services. The DRIVERS
section in libtcl.cfg may need to be modified
to use the reentrant driver.
Using a
directory service
Configure the LDAP server according to the vendor-supplied documentation.
Add the path environment variable to the LDAP library for your platform, for example:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH| ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib3p
See Table 5-5 for a list of environment
variables and libraries for your platform.
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.
Following is the context for this entry:
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
where “one” indicates the scope of a search that retrieves entries one level below the DIT base.
Table 5-4 defines the keywords for the ldapurl variables.

Add your server entry to the LDAP server using dscp or dsedit. See “Adding and modifying server entries”, and “Adding a server to the directory services”.
