How to configure LDAP BINDDN containing spaces in PureData System for Analytics

Question & Answer


Question

My BINDDN contains space characters. What syntax should I use to configure LDAP authentication on my IBM PureData System for Analytics appliance?

Cause

Spaces can cause issues with openldap if they are not escaped properly.

Answer

To avoid issues, enclose the entire BINDDN with single quotes, and enclose the Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU) or Domain Component (DC) containing a space character with double quotes.

Example:


BINDDN 'cn=commonname,ou="space test",DC=adroot,DC=company,DC=com'
