To use a directory service, you must:
Configure the LDAP server according to the vendor-supplied documentation.
Add the location of the LDAP libraries to the path environment variable for your platform. See Table 6-4.
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 6-3 for supported LDAP URL values.
WARNING! The LDAP URL must be on a single line.
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
“one” indicates the scope of a search that retrieves entries one level below the DIT base.
Table 6-3 defines the keywords for the ldapurl variables.
