Creating pac_ldap.cred

Create a plain text file named pac_ldap.cred in /cp_root/server_root/pac/creds. This file contains the password corresponding to the user name in the admin_dn directive, which is in the pac.conf file.

Note:
To enable anonymous binding, change the admin_dn directive in pac.conf to admin_dn:NULL and put a dummy string in the pac_ldap.cred file.

The PAC daemon encrypts the password the first time that it reads the file.

To create the file pac_ldap.cred on Linux and UNIX platforms, issue the following commands:

cd cp_root/server_root/pac/creds
echo "password" > pac_ldap.cred
chown nobody pac_ldap.cred
chgrp nobody pac_ldap.cred
(on SUSE Linux, use chgrp nogroup pac_ldap.cred.)

To create the file on a Windows platform, type the password in a text file and store the file in the server_root\pac\creds\ directory.
