Chapter 12. Configuring the LDAP Interface

XYPRO Technology Corporation 71 Proprietary and Confidential

You will be asked a series of questions about configuring XYGATEUA

to interface to one or more LDAP servers. You may abort the process

at any prompt by hitting the BREAK key or pressing CTRL-Y in response

to a prompt.

Prompts that end with a value within angle brackets mean that hitting

the return key with no other input will default to that value.

(Item 1):

Do you want to configure the LDAP interface <Y>? 

UAACL CHECKSUM 740365426 $SYSTEM.XYGATEUA.UAACL)

No syntax errors found

Syntax check good.

The above prompt (Do you want to configure the LDAP interface) is asking

you to confirm your intentions. If you answer N, the macro will quit. The macro checks

for any syntax errors in the configuration files before proceeding.

(Item 2):

What is the DNS name or IP Address of the LDAP server? ldap1.example.com

Obtain this information from your LDAP administrator. This can be either the DNS

name or the IP address for cleartext authentication but must be a DNS name for SSL

authentication.

The corresponding UACONF keyword is LDAP_HOST, which specifies the path to the

LDAP server.

(Item 3):

What is the LDAP server version <3>? 

For future use. Accept the default value.

The current release of XUA only interfaces to the latest version of both Windows

Active Directory and OpenLDAP. The latest version for each of these LDAP products

is version 3. This option is reserved for future LDAP releases/versions.

The corresponding UACONF keyword is LDAP_VERSION.
