The documentation portal is undergoing maintenance. During this period, you can't create any new user credentials. If you do, you'll need to recreate the user credential after the maintenance period ends.
The LDAP_BASE statement specifies the location within an LDAP directory from which to conduct a PowerExchange user search. If you specify LDAP as the third parameter in the SECURITY statement, include at least one LDAP_BASE statement in the DBMOVER configuration file. You can specify up to five LDAP_BASE statements.
LDAP searches the search-base locations in the order in which LDAP_BASE statements occur in the DBMOVER configuration file. The search stops as soon as the PowerExchange user is found, or the search continues through all LDAP_BASE locations if no PowerExchange user is found.

For the
search_base
variable, enter the distinguished name (DN) of an LDAP tree node from which to conduct a PowerExchange user search. Enclose the
search_base
value in parentheses and double quotation marks.
If you do not define an LDAP_BASE statement, PowerExchange uses the default search base, which is an empty string. This search base will likely cause all searches to fail.
If you use multiple LDAP_BASE statements, for best search performance, order the statements so that a PowerExchange user is likely to be found as soon as possible.
