Configure a Connection from the Policy Server to CA LDAP Server for z/OS (RACF)

To configure a directory connection from the Policy Server to the CA LDAP Server for z/OS, open an existing user directory object in the Administrative UI.

To configure a directory connection from the Policy Server to the CA LDAP Server

1. Open the User Directory Dialog.
2. In Directory Setup, select LDAP as the namespace.
3. Enter the connection information for your LDAP directory.

   Note: For more information, see the topic LDAP Namespace Directory Setup Tab in the Policy Design Reference Guide.

   Note: Failover is not supported for this LDAP Server.

4. In the LDAP Search box, in the Max Time field, specify a value of 300 seconds.

   Note: A greater timeout value is required, because the Policy Server takes more time to retrieve data from this LDAP Server.

5. In Credentials and Connection, specify administrator credentials that the Policy Server will use to connect to this LDAP Server.

   Important! Specifying administrator credentials is mandatory as anonymous binds to the user store are not allowed with CA LDAP Server r15 for z/OS (RACF).
