Using a Directory Service

For more information, see the configuration guide for your platform.

1. 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 the Configuration Guide for supported LDAP URL values.
   Warning!  Enter the LDAP URL on a single line.

   ldap=libsybdldap.dll
   ldap://host:port/ditbase??scope??
   bindname=username?password

   For example:

   [DIRECTORY] 
   ldap=libsybdldap.dll
   ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??
   bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?secret

2. Verify that the appropriate environment variable points to the required third-party libraries. The Netscape LDAP SDK libraries are located in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\dll The Windows PATH environment variable must include this directory.
3. Use dsedit to add a server to the directory service:
   1. From Windows, select Start | Programs | Sybase | Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor.
   2. Select LDAP from the list of servers, and click OK.
   3. Click Add New Server Entry.
   4. Enter:
      
      • The server name – this is required.
      • Security mechanism – optional. A list of security mechanism OIDs are located in %SYBASE%\ini\objectid.dat.
   5. Click Add New Network Transport.
      
      1. Select the transport type
      2. Enter the host name
      3. Enter the port number
   6. Click OK twice to exit the dsedit utility.
