Running the SQL LDAP setup script
You can set up LDAP from the command line.
Before you begin
Note: If you use Parlance 2.5 compatibility mode, you should ignore the following steps and use locally stored passwords instead.
Procedure
- Do one of the following:
- In a Windows environment, access any Contenta Windows Administration Client.
- In a Linux environment, access your Contenta Unix server.
- Open a command prompt.
- Navigate to the setup/ subdirectory of the Contenta_home directory.
- Enter sqlplus to open a SQL+ command prompt.
- When prompted for credentials, log in as sysadmin@SID, where
SIDis the system identifier for your Contenta databases, using the sysadmin password to login. - If you are using an Oracle database, at the SQL+ prompt enter @xyldap_setup.sql (MS SQL database users must enter @xyldap_mssq_setup.sql instead).
The script is executed.
- Enter exit to exit the SQL+ command prompt, and close the Windows or Linux command prompt.
LDAP is configured. From this point on, Contenta ignores anything entered as a password in the user interface, including an empty password.
- The xyldap.cfg configuration file
This example is a self-documented sample xyldap.cfg file delivered with the Contenta software that can be edited and used, or referenced for information about the settings and values. - Login Error Messages
