Configure the Active Directory Accelerator

To configure the Active Directory accelerator, define the parameters in the ldap.properties file.

You can find the sample_ldap.properties file in the following directory:

<Dynamic Data Masking installation>\Accelerators\ActiveDirectory\cfg

After you edit the file, you must save it as ldap.properties in the following directory:

<Dynamic Data Masking installation>\custom\cfg\ldap.properties

For UNIX and Linux, save ldap.properties in the following directory:

<Dynamic Data Masking installation>/custom/cfg/ldap.properties

The following table describes the parameters that you define in the sample_ldap.properties file:

Parameter	Description
hostname	The host name or IP address of the LDAP directory.
port	The LDAP port. Default is 389.
authentication	The LDAP authentication. The authentication can be simple or none.
basedn	The domain name in the LDAP directory format. For example, if the domain name is mycompany.com, enter the following text: basedn=DC\=mycompany,DC\=com
principal	The user name that connects to the LDAP directory followed by @<domain name>, such as jsmith@mycompany.com. Required if you configure the authentication to be simple.
rootpwd	The password of the user that connects to the LDAP directory. Required if you configure the authentication to be simple. After you start the Active Directory accelerator the first time, the rootpwd value is encrypted and the passwordEncrypted property is set to true.
