LDAP providers can sometimes share a common configuration.
If you want to share the configuration between the login provider and the attribution provider, set the configuration for the login provider but do not specify values for the attribution provider. In this case, the attribution provider will automatically inherit the appropriate configuration from the login provider.
Note: You cannot share configuration between the login provider and the authorization provider. The authorization provider always expects its own configuration.
Other considerations include:
- The attribution provider has maximum functionality when combined with the LDAP authentication provider; however, the attribution provider can be configured completely standalone or with alternate authentication providers.
- If you do not configure a login provider, you must define the configure all properties in the attribution provider instead.
- A complete configuration defined for the attribution provider override that of a login module. While it is possible to have separate configurations for the authentication and attribution providers, Sybase does not recommend this setup.
