Example: LDAP Configuration with a Filter and Login Attribute

The following example shows the DBMOVER statements for an LDAP configuration that defines a filter and login attribute:

SECURITY=(1,N,LDAP)
LDAP_HOST=(myldapserver,389)
LDAP_BIND_DN="uid=hmiller,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
LDAP_BIND_EPWD=47D95F9932FB5F67
LDAP_BASE=("ou=People,dc=example,dc=com")
LDAP_FILTER="(objectclass=person)"
LDAP_LOGIN_ATTRIBUTE=cn

This filter restricts the LDAP search to LDAP entries with an

objectclass

attribute that matches the value

person

Filtering can speed up searches because LDAP indexes can be used to reduce the number of searched entries. Without the LDAP_FILTER statement, the default filter of

(objectclass=*)

is used, which would match entries that have any

objectclass

value.

The login attribute of

directs the search for an LDAP entry that has a common name that matches the PowerExchange user identity.

In an actual application, because common name is not unique, you would not use it as a login key.

The LDAP_BIND_EPWD statement specifies an encrypted password for the search user.
