Configuring HCL OneDB for LDAP

About this task

To configure a server to use an LDAP Authentication Support module, edit the sqlhosts file. The system administrator must know:

  • The name of the module.
  • Whether the module raises a challenge in addition to accepting a simple user name and password combination.
The following sqlhosts file entry shows a server configured to use PAM challenge authentication:
ifxserver1 onsoctcp servermc portnum1 s=4,pam_serv=(pam_chal),pamauth=(challenge)
The following sqlhosts file entry shows a server configured to use PAM password authentication:
ifxserver2 onsoctcp servermc portnum2 s=4,pam_serv=(pam_pass),pamauth=(password)
