Sample LDAP configurations

The Content Manager OnDemand user ID of admin is not subjected to the LDAP authentication.

The initial bind LDAP user ID and password (ARS_LDAP_BIND_DN and ARS_LDAP_BIND_DN_PWD) are no longer specified in the ARS.CFG configuration file. The initial bind LDAP user ID and password are stored in the instance stash file by using the ARSSTASH command. If ARS_LDAP_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS is set to FALSE, both values must exist in the stash file or the LDAP authentication will fail. You can view LDAP parameters based on your system platform in the Specifying the ARS.CFG file for the instance section of the Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms: Installation and Configuration Guide.
