4.3.2.1 Configuring Connection Parameters
To configure connection parameters:
1 If not already known, obtain the LDAP server’s host name by running the
ldapsearch
command or using
ldp.exe (available as part of the downloadable Windows Support
Tools from Microsoft). You must know the LDAP server’s IP address.
 Issue the ldapsearch command and record the displayed dnsHostName (the value
used for the
ldap-server-hn parameter; this is only necessary when setting CA
certificates).
 Run ldp.exe as follows:
1) Click Start > Run.
2) In the Open box, enter
ldp and click OK.
3) The Ldp window opens.
4) In the Ldp window, click Connection > Connect.
5) In the Server box, enter the Active Directory server’s IP address and click OK.
The root DSE attributes and values are displayed in the right-side pane.
6) Record the displayed
dnsHostName (the value used for the ldap-server-hn
parameter; only necessary if setting CA certificates).
2 Set the address to which the LDAP server will connect by issuing the
setauthparam
ldap-server <IP_address>
command, where <IP_address> is your LDAP server’s IP
address.
3 Set the LDAP server’s host name by issuing the
setauthparam ldap-server-hn
<DNS_HostName>
command, where <DNS_HostName> is the value displayed by either
using the
ldapsearch command or ldp.exe in step 1 on page 4.16.
NOTE: If you do not have access to the ldapsearch command, use the ldp.exe
command.
NOTE: The value displayed for the defaultNamingContext is used later in 4.3.1.3
Configuring Account Location Parameters on page 4.11.
