Installation manual

Distinguished Name Suffix
Type the distinguished name (DN) of the highest entry in the directory
information tree (DIT) for which information will be saved. Host
On-Demand will store all of its configuration information below this
suffix in the DIT. You must use the LDAP string representation for
distinguished names (for example, cn=HOD,o=IBM,c=US ).
Migrate Configuration to Directory Service
To migrate users and groups from the private data store to the LDAP
directory, click the check box. Migrating to LDAP has significant
implications for your group and user configuration information. Refer
to LDAP Migration Implications in the online help for more
information. You can check this box either when you switch to the
directory server, or after you have made the switch.
The Redirector configuration is not migrated to the directory server.
Note: If you have a problem connecting to LDAP and migrating, try to
connect to LDAP first. Then, after successfully connecting, try to
migrate.
4. Click Apply.
When you are asked to authenticate with the LDAP directory for the first time,
specify a user ID of ″admin″ and a password of ″password″. You can change
this password after the first log on. Even though you might have changed your
password for the private data store, that ID and password continues to be valid
for the private data store only. For the LDAP directory, a separate user ID and
password are required. To avoid confusion, you can change your LDAP
directory password to be the same as your private data store password.
Changes made on this panel are effective immediately. Once you have switched to
the LDAP server, subsequent user-related changes will be made only on the LDAP
server, including administrative changes to groups, users, or sessions, and changes
such as new passwords, macros, keyboard changes, etc., by either the
administrator or a user.
