LDAP connection - LDAP suffixes
The "LDAP suffixes" panel is a part of the "LDAP connection" wizard.
Use this panel to specify the suffix for the msys for Setup management
directory subtree and, if applicable, the security suffix for your RACF
database.
Your LDAP administrator should be able to provide this information.
Steps for specifying the suffixes:
- Specify an LDAP suffix for the msys for Setup management directory subtree
in the LDAP suffix entry field. You can:
- Accept the default; this is the LDAP server suffix
- Select the suffix from the associated drop down list
- Type the LDAP server suffix into the entry field
- Note:
- If you specify the suffix for a nonexistent subtree, msys for Setup will
prompt you to log on as the LDAP administrator to log on to create that
subtree. Only an LDAP administrator can perform this task.
- If you do not want to use RACF to protect your management directory,
ensure that the LDAP server uses RACF check box is cleared.
Then click Finish and skip the remaining steps.
- If you want to use RACF to protect your management directory, select the
LDAP server uses RACF check box.
- Accept the default selection or select the LDAP suffix for the RACF
database from the Security suffix drop down list.
msys for Setup detects all available backends and provides the
corresponding suffixes in the drop down list. If the suffix you want to
select is not in the list, consult your LDAP administrator.
- Click Finish.
Results:
If you have specified an existing management directory subtree, you proceed
to the "Log on to Setup" panel where any user that is known to the
specified management directory can log on.
If you have specified a new management directory subtree, you proceed to
the LDAP administrator logon panel. The new
subtree is created only if the LDAP administrator logs on successfully.
