   • Mainframe LDAP Suffix

     Click the 'Get Suffixes' button to retrieve a list of valid suffixes configured for this CA LDAP Server operations in im naming mode. (See the chapter titled, "CATSS_DN Backend" in the CA LDAP Server for z/OS Administrator Guide for more information on naming mode.)

Note: After you click OK, the Provisioning Server attempts to establish a connection with the CA LDAP Server for z/OS at the IP address and port supplied, as well as validating the Admin user and Password values supplied. An appropriate error message is displayed if this connection fails. A Global User is inserted in the Provisioning Server with Domain Administrator authority using the ID and password supplied. This Global User is used to administer this CA Top Secret endpoint.
