Select a Specific LDAP Directory

Note: In the current release, the iConsole only supports lookup operations for Active Directory.

If the iConsole front-end Web server is running in a domain under Windows 2003 or XP, the front-end Web server will automatically detect an Active Directory server. However, you can configure the front-end Web server to use a specific, non-default LDAP directory.

To do this, you need to edit a registry value on the machine hosting the iConsole front-end Web server. On the host machine, locate the Web registry key. Within this registry key, you need to edit this value:

LookupLDAPServers

Type: REG_MULTI_SZ

Data: CA DataMinder policy engines permit you to define multiple LDAP servers for this registry value. Specify a list of servers hosting the LDAP directory you want to use.

Server names can be ‘plain’ or include a domain suffix (UNI-EXCH or UNI-EXCH.UNIPRAXIS.COM). If the LDAP port number is not 389, you can add it after the server name; prefix the port number with a colon (UNI-EXCH:319). You can also prefix the server name with the account credentials used to access the LDAP database. The syntax is:

<username>:<password>@<server name>
