Enabling LDAP Directory Services

To use a directory service, you must enable LDAP Directory Services.

1. Configure the LDAP server according to the vendor-supplied documentation.
2. Add the location of the LDAP libraries to the PATH environment variable for your platform.
3. 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.

   Warning!  The LDAP URL must be on a single line.

   ldap=libsybdldap.dll
   ldap://ldaphost/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??bindname=uid=Manager,dc=sybase,
   dc=com?password

   For example:

   [DIRECTORY]
   ldap=libsybdldap.dll ldap://ldaphost/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??bindname=uid=Manager,dc=sybase,
   dc=com?password

   “one” indicates the scope of a search that retrieves entries one level below the DIT base.

   ldapurl Variables

   Keyword	Description	Default
   host (required)	The host name or IP address of the machine running the LDAP server	None
   port	The port number that the LDAP server is listening on	389
   ditbase (required)	The default DIT base	None
   username	Distinguished name (DN) of the user to authenticate	NULL (anonymous authentication)
   password	Password of the user to be authenticated	NULL (anonymous authentication)

4. Verify that the appropriate environment variable points to the required third-party libraries. The Netscape LDAP SDK libraries are located in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\lib3p.The Windows PATH environment variable must point to this directory.
5. Use dscp or dsedit to add your server entry to the LDAP server.
