LDAP Configuration Overview

This file provides instructions on how to configure and run the LDAP Server with the required server, archive, and publishing framework metadata.

To configure the LDAP server, follow these steps:

1. Locate the LDAP configuration files in the directory /itadmin/ldap. The files are as follows:

   containers.ldif

   is an LDIF that creates the containers for SAS application data.

   nsslapd.sas_at.conf

   is the attribute schema data for a Netscape Directory Server.

   nsslapd.sas_oc.conf

   is the object class schema data for a Netscape Directory Server.

   V3.sas.oc

   SecureWay V3

   slapd.sas_at.conf

   is the attribute schema data for an OpenLDAP directory server.

   slapd.sas_oc.conf

   is the object class schema data for an OpenLDAP directory server.

2. In order to prepare your LDAP server to receive SAS application data, add the appropriate files to your server configuration. Use the table below to determine which files to add for your installation.

   Netscape	nsslapd.sas_at.conf nsslapd.sas_oc.conf
   SecureWay V3	V3.sas.oc
   OpenLDAP	slapd.sas_at.conf slapd.sas_oc.conf

   Normally, adding files to a server configuration involves placing include statements in the slapd.conf file. Check the documentation for your server to verify the procedure.

   For example:

   include slapd.sas_at.conf
   include slapd.sas_oc.conf
   

3. Restart the server so that the server reads the new schema information.

4. Edit the containers.ldif file in order to include the correct LDAP suffix for your directory. The entry representing the suffix must be in the directory before you add the SAS containers. For example, if your suffix is o=ACE Industries, c=US, make sure the directory includes the entry dn: o=ACE Industries,c=US already.

5. Use the ldapadd command to add the containers. Use a bind DN that has the appropriate permissions.
