LDAP server location

Any database server that supports the LDAP protocol can be used to host the z/OS® Explorer push-to-client schema. Therefore, z/OS Explorer allows you to specify the information needed to connect to the LDAP server. You can also specify the suffix that makes the database unique within the LDAP server.

rse.env directive	Default
_RSE_LDAP_SERVER	Local host system
_RSE_LDAP_PORT	389
_RSE_LDAP_PTC_GROUP_SUFFIX	"O=PTC,C=zOSexplorer"

Note that TCP/IP security measures, like firewalls, might stop the (host-based) RSE server from contacting the LDAP server. Contact your TCP/IP administrator with the following information to ensure the LDAP server can be reached:

LDAP server TCP/IP address or DNS name
LDAP server port number
LDAP uses the TCP protocol
LDAP server is contacted by the host-based RSE server
RSE server is active in an RSEDx address space, where RSED is the RSE started task name and x is a random one-digit number
