To ensure that the IBM
Storage Protect server can
communicate with a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, you must update the IBM
Storage Protect server options file to specify a URL for the LDAP
server.
Before you begin
Obtain an existing URL for the LDAP server from the LDAP server administrator.
Procedure
-
In the server instance directory, open the dsmserv.opt file.
-
Specify the LDAPURL server option by following the instructions in LDAPURL.
The updated option is similar to the following
example:
ldapurl ldap://server1.storage.us.example.com
The default port is 389. If you want to use a different port number, specify it as part of
the
LDAPURL option. For example, if you specified the URL as shown in the
previous example, you can update it to specify a port of
222:
ldapurl ldap://server1.storage.us.example.com:222
To
use an LDAPS server, specify
ldaps:// as part of the
LDAPURL option. For example, if you specified the URL as shown in the previous
example, you can update it to use an LDAPS URL on port
636:
ldapurl ldaps://server1.storage.us.example.com:636
Restriction: When you specify multiple LDAPURL server option values, they must all be
LDAPS or must all be LDAP addresses.
-
Restart the IBM
Storage Protect server.
