    Network communications parameters

LDAP communication parameter [LDAP]

Usage 

TCP/IP, server-side only

Values 

YES, NO, or filename

Default 

ON

The default filename is asaldap.ini

Description 

Having the database server register itself with an LDAP server allows clients (and the Locate utility [dblocate]) to query the LDAP server. This allows clients running over a WAN or through a firewall to find servers without specifying the IP address. It also allows the Locate utility [dblocate] to find such servers.

Specifying LDAP=filename turns LDAP support on and uses the specified file as the configuration file. Specifying LDAP=YES turns LDAP support on and uses asaldap.ini as the configuration file.

LDAP is only used with TCP/IP, and only on network servers.
