When the remote starts, a new application, the directory services browser, launches
and connects to an LDAP server. The directory services browser queries all entries
that satisfy its filter criteria and displays the entries in a list view. You can then
select the host to which you want to connect from this list.
Configuring the directory servers
Before you can use directory services in pcAnywhere, you need to configure a
directory server so that it works with pcAnywhere. The configuration instruction
depends on the type of directory server that you use.
Note: Symantec pcAnywhere currently does not support the Novell Client on Vista.
Configuring the LDAP server
To use directory services, add a custom object class description to the LDAP
server's configuration. This custom object class describes the information that
the LDAP server needs to store for each host that a user starts. Once the custom
object class is available, modify all existing entries to store values that belong to
the new object class.
The custom pcAnywhere object class must be called pcaHost, and must contain
a single binary attribute called pcaHostEntry.
For example:
objectclass: pcaHost
pcaHostEntry: binary
