Configuring libtcl.cfg for LDAP

Use the libtcl.cfg file to specify an LDAP server name, port number, DIT base, user

name, and password to connect to an LDAP server.

When you specify an LDAP server in the libtcl.cfg file, the server information becomes

accessible only from the LDAP server; the interfaces file is ignored. Open Client and

Open Server applications that use the -I option at start-up override the libtcl.cfg file and

use the interfaces file. See the

Adaptive Server Configuration Guide

Configure the libtcl.cfg file to use directory services, using any standard ASCII text

editor:

• Remove the semicolon (;) comment markers from the beginning of the LDAP URL

lines in the libtcl.cfg file under the [DIRECTORY] entry.

• Add the LDAP URL under the [DIRECTORY] entry. See the

Configuration Guide

for

supported LDAP URL values.

In its simplest form on 32-bit LDAP drivers, the libtcl.cfg file is in this format:

[DIRECTORY]

ldap=libsybdldap.dll

Warning! Ensure that the LDAP URL is on a single line.

ldap=libsybdldap.dll

ldap://host:port/ditbase??scope??

bindname=username?password

For example (entry shown on multiple lines only for readability):

[DIRECTORY]

ldap=libsybdldap.dll

ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one??

bindname=cn=Manager,dc=sybase,dc=com?secret

Note: On Windows x64, the .dll file is called libsybdldap64.dll.

Verify that the appropriate environment variable points to the required third-party

libraries. The Netscape LDAP SDK libraries are in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%

\dll.

The Windows PATH environment variable must include this directory.

Adding a Server to the Directory Service

Use dsedit utility to add a server to the directory service.

1. From Windows, select Start > Programs > Sybase > Connectivity > Open Client

Directory Service Editor.

2. Select LDAP from the list of servers, and click OK.
