DirectoryBase
This parameter specifies the top-level node for the LDAP server you are describing. In fact, this
node need not be the root (top-level) node of the directory, but it should be the top of a subtree
that contains all the entries for Neoview users. Furthermore, it must be an absolute value with
respect to the top of the tree, so that it and the UniqueIdentifier (described next) can be
concatenated to form a complete DN. For example:
DirectoryBase o=REScorp.com is valid
DirectoryBase ou=People,o=REScorp.com is valid
DirectoryBase ou=People is invalid, because the path to the root is missing
This parameter is mandatory. If you use HPDM, you can specify it either as a Common Parameter
or as a server-specific Parameter. If you use NCI, you must specify it either in the default
configuration or in the configuration description file for a particular LDAP server.
It has the following format:
DirectoryBase value
as in
DirectoryBase o=REScorp.com
UniqueIdentifier
This parameter identifies the directory attribute that contains the user's unique identifier, the
name with which the user logs on. This parameter is mandatory for openLDAP; for Active
Directory, specify either UniqueIdentifier or UserIdentifier.
If you use HPDM, you can specify this parameter either as a Common Parameter or as a
server-specific Parameter. If you use NCI, you can specify it either in the default configuration
or in the configuration description file for a particular LDAP server.
The attribute value must be part of the DN of the user. For example, if the user's DN is
uid=[e-mail],ou=People,o=REScorp
the parameter specification might be
UniqueIdentifier uid,ou=People
Depending on the directory structure, a complete DN is likely to consist of a series of directory
nodes. Thus, the general format of this parameter is
UniqueIdentifier attribute[,node]
