SPD Server Parameter File Configurations for LDAP

For this configuration, assume that all other LDAP settings use the default configuration. To run an LDAP server on the SPD Server host, add the LDAP option to your SPD Server parameter file. User authentication is performed by the LDAP server, which is running on the port LOCAL_HOST on the SPD Server host.

For this configuration, assume that all other LDAP settings use the default configuration. Also assume that you want to perform LDAP user authentication on the LDAP server. To run an LDAP server on the SPD Server host by using a port assignment other than LOCAL_HOST, add the LDAP option and the LDAPPORT= port specification to your SPD Server parameter file.

For this configuration, assume that you want to perform LDAP user authentication, but the LDAP server and the SPD Server hosts are on different machines. To run an LDAP server and the SPD Server hosts on different machines, add the LDAP option and the LDAPSERVER= specification (such as <host.domain.company.com>) to your SPD Server parameter file. An LDAP user is authenticated when the LDAP server is running at port LOCAL_HOST on host.domain.company.com.

For this configuration, assume that you want to perform LDAP user authentication, but the SPD Server user IDs and passwords are not in their default locations in the LDAP database. Assume that all other LDAP settings use the default configuration. Add the LDAP option and the LDAPBINDDN= specification. The LDAPBINDDN= property setting is ou=people, dc=domain, dc=company, dc=com. An LDAP user is authenticated when the LDAP server is running at port LOCAL_HOST on the SPD Server host machine. The LDAP server looks for SPD Server users at the location that corresponds to ou=people, dc=domain, dc=company, dc=com in its database.

For this configuration, assume the following: you want to perform LDAP user authentication, the SPD Server user IDs and passwords are located at ou=people, dc=domain, dc=company, dc=com in the LDAP database, and the LDAP server is using the port TCPIP_PORT. Add the LDAP option and set the LDAPPORT= port specification to TCPIP_PORT in your SPD Server parameter file. Next, add the LDAPBINDDN= specification. The LDAPBINDDN= property setting is ou=people, dc=domain, dc=company, dc=com. A user is authenticated when the LDAP server is running at port TCPIP_PORT on the SPD Server host machine. The LDAP server looks for SPD Server users at the location that corresponds to ou=people, dc=domain, dc=company, dc=com in its database.
