Configure an LDAP Database

To configure an LDAP database

1. Specify the Server name or IP address of the LDAP server in the LDAP IP Address field. For performance reasons, the IP address is preferred.

   Note: You can specify multiple servers in this field to allow for LDAP server failover.

2. Specify the LDAP branch under which the SiteMinder schema is located in the Root DN field (for example, o=myorg.org).
3. If your Policy Server communicates with the LDAP directory over SSL, select the Use SSL check box.

   Note: If you select this option, you must specify a certificate database in the Netscape Certificate Database File field.

4. Specify the DN of the LDAP directory administrator (for example, cn=Directory Manager) in the Admin Username field.
5. Enter the administrative password for the LDAP directory in the Admin Password field.
6. Confirm the administrative password for the LDAP directory in the Confirm Password field.
7. Click Test LDAP Connection to verify that the parameters you entered are correct and that the connection can be made.
