Searching the LDAP servers
The Db2® database system searches the current LDAP server but in an environment where there are multiple LDAP servers, you can define the scope of the search.
About this task
db2set -gl db2ldap_search_scope=value
Possible values include: local, domain, or global. If it is not set, the default value is domain which limits the search scope to the directory on the current LDAP server.
For example, you might want to initially set the search scope to global after a new database is created. This allows any Db2 client configured to use LDAP to search all the LDAP servers to find the database. Once the entry has been recorded on each computer after the first connect or attach for each client, if you have caching enabled, the search scope can be changed to local. Once changed to local, each client will not scan any LDAP servers.
