You can specify a central LDAP server to keep track of all database servers in an enterprise if you are operating on a Windows (except Windows Mobile) or Unix platform. When the database server registers itself with an LDAP server, clients can query the LDAP server and find the database server they are looking for, regardless of whether they are on a WAN, a LAN, or going through firewalls. LDAP is ignored by clients that specify the database server address with the Host connection parameter or the HOST protocol option.
The Server Enumeration utility (dblocate) can also use the LDAP server to find other such servers.
LDAP is only used with TCP/IP and only with network database servers.
Using SQL Anywhere with an LDAP server on IBM AIX Create links in /usr/libTo use SQL Anywhere with IBM AIX 6, you must either create links in the /usr/lib directory or ensure that the directory containing the LDAP libraries is included in the LIBPATH to ensure that the LDAP system libraries are found.
Run the following commands as the root user:
cd /usr/lib ln -s /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib64/libibmldap.a libibmldap64.a ln -s /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib/libibmldap.a |
Create links in /usr/lib by running the following commands as the root user:
cd /usr/lib ln -s /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib64/libibmldap.a libibmldap64.a ln -s /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib/libibmldap.a |
Ensure that the directory with the LDAP libraries is in the LIBPATH.
For example, for 64-bit libraries:
export LIBPATH=/opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib64:$LIBPATH |
For example, for 32-bit libraries:
export LIBPATH=/opt/IBM/ldap/V6.1/lib:$LIBPATH |
