SAP Sybase IQ uses a configuration object called LDAP server to provide connections between the SAP Sybase IQ server and external LDAP servers.
Despite its name, the SAP Sybase IQ LDAP server is an object that resides on the SAP Sybase IQ server and is NOT an actual server. The LDAP server configuration object's sole function is to provide a connection to a physical LDAP server to allow LDAP user authentication. Any settings of the LDAP server database configuration object apply solely to the SAP Sybase IQ side of the LDAP user authentication equation. No LDAP server configuration object settings are written to the physical LDAP server.
