Table 6-3 Global Parameters
Parameter Description
ldap port Specifies the TCP port number used to
connect to the LDAP directory server. By
default, this parameter is set to 389.
ldap server Specifies the host name of the Netscape
Directory Server where you want to store your
data.
ldap suffix Specifies the base of the directory tree where
you want to add users and machine accounts
information. It is also used as the
Distinguished Name (DN) of the search base,
which tells LDAP where to start the search
for the entry. For example, if your base DN is
“dc=org, dc=hp, dc=com”, then you need to
set the value of ldap suffix = “dc= org,
dc=hp, dc=com”.
ldap user suffix Specifies the base of the directory tree where
you want to add users information. If you do
not specify this parameter, HP CIFS Server
uses the value of ldap suffix. For example,
ldap user suffix = “ou=People”.
