WORKPATH=
specifies the LIBNAME proxy path for work files. If you think that the work files might
overflow a single file system, you can specify multiple paths. When specifying multiple
paths, enclose the complete path statement in double quotation marks.
Usage
WORKPATH=<ldap_server_binddn_string> "('DirPath1' 'DirPath2' ...)";
SPD Server Parameter File Configurations for
LDAP
LDAP Server That Is Running on an SPD Server Host
For this configuration, assume that all other LDAP settings use the default configuration.
To run an LDAP server on the SPD Server host, add the LDAP option to your SPD Server
parameter file. User authentication is performed by the LDAP server, running at port
LOCAL_HOST, on the SPD Server host.
LDAP Server Running on SPD Server Host Using Port Other Than
LOCAL_HOST
For this configuration, assume that all other LDAP settings use the default configuration,
and that you want to perform LDAP user authentication where the LDAP server is using
a port number that is different from the port assigned to LOCAL_HOST. To run an LDAP
server on the SPD Server host using a port assignment other than LOCAL_HOST, add the
LDAP option and the LDAPPORT= port specification to your SPD Server parameter file.
LDAP Server and SPD Server Host That Are Running On Different
Machines
For this configuration, assume that you want to perform LDAP user authentication, but the
LDAP server and the SPD Server hosts are on different machines.
To run an LDAP server and the SPD Server hosts on different machines, add the LDAP
option and the LDAPSERVER= specification (such as <host.domain.company.com>) to
your SPD Server parameter file. LDAP user authentication occurs where the LDAP server
is running at port LOCAL_HOST on host.domain.company.com.
The default SPD Server LDAP authentication mechanism is ANONYMOUS.
ANONYMOUS LDAP authentication is not secure. When the SPD Server and LDAP
server hosts are on different machines, use the SASL Digest-MD5 mechanism for secure
authentication. To use SASL Digest-MD5 secure authentication, add the statement
LDAPBINDMETH=LDAP_AUTH_SASL to your SPD Server parameter file.
