Point the Policy Server to the Directory Server

You point the Policy Server to the LDAP directory server so that the Policy Server has the necessary system information and administrative privileges to read and write information to the policy store.

To point the Policy Server to the directory server

1. Run the following command from the Policy Server host system:

   smldapsetup status -h host -p port -d AdminDN
   -w AdminPW -r root -ssl 1/0 -c cert
   

   • -h host

     Specifies the IP Address of the LDAP server.

   • -p port

     Specifies the port number of the LDAP server.

   • -d AdminDN

     Specifies the name of a LDAP user with privileges to create a new LDAP schema in the LDAP directory server.

     ADAM: Specifies the full domain name, including the guid value, of the ADAM administrator.

     Example: CN=user1,CN=People,CN=Configuration,CN,{guid}

   • -w AdminPW

     Specifies the password for a LDAP user with privileges to create a new LDAP schema in the LDAP directory server.

   • -r root

     Specifies the DN location of the SOA Security Manager data in the LDAP directory.

     ADAM: Specifies the existing root DN location of the application partition in the ADAM server where you want to put the policy store schema data.

   • -ssl 1|0

     Specifies an SSL connection.

     Limits: 0=no | 1=yes

     Default: 0

   • -c cert

     (Only required if the ssl value is 1) Specifies the path to the directory where the SSL client certificate database file, cert7.db, exists.

   The correct configuration of the LDAP policy store connection parameters is verified.

2. Run the following command:

   smldapsetup reg -h host -p port -d AdminDN
   -w AdminPW -r root -ssl 1/0 -c cert
   

   The connection to the LDAP directory server is tested and the server is configured as a SOA Security Manager policy store.
