An arbitrary name used to refer to an individual server.
password string
Sets the password of a user with access to the parts of the directory
that DHCP uses. Because you can configure LDAP servers to allow
anonymous access, this is optional.
port int
Specifies the port on the remote server to connect to.
preference int default = 1
Specifies the preference order in which LDAP servers are used.
A positive integer greater than or equal to one. One (1) is the
highest preference value.
query-dictionary string
Maps LDAP attributes and DHCP attribute names. The server attempts
to retrieve all LDAP attributes specified in the dictionary. When a
query succeeds, the values for any ldap attributes that it returns
are set in the corresponding client-entry attribute.
query-timeout time default = 3s
Specifies the number of seconds the DHCP server waits for a response
to individual LDAP Query requests. After a query request times out,
the DHCP server will drop the request and not process it again on
another LDAP connection or LDAP Server. A query-timeout value of 3
seconds is a good value.
Note: The timeout attribute configures the timeout for LDAP
Update and Create requests.
referral-attr string
Indicates whether an LDAP response is a referral. The referral may
or may not contain the DN for this query. If the DN is present (the
default), the server uses it as the search path, along with a
wildcard search-scope in the query that follows the referral. If not,
the server builds the search path by formatting the data in the
referral attribute with the referral-filter, using the existing
search scope.
referral-filter string
In the absence of a distinguished name (DN), controls how a
server formats referral-attr data. In such cases, the server formats
the referral attribute's data with this filter expression to build a
search path that uses the existing search-scope for the LDAP server.
search-filter string
Specifies the filter to apply in the client-entry query. The server
formats the client's MAC address using the filter to specify the
object that contains the client-entry data.
search-path string
Designates an object in the directory to use as a query
starting-point. Together, the path and the search-scope control the
portion of the directory that the server will search.
