Profile Attributes
authenticationMethod is how the client binds to the directory. The value can be “simple” indicating bind using a user name and password. If this attribute has no value, “simple” is the default.
bindTimeLimit is how long, in seconds, the client should wait to bind before aborting. 0 (zero) means no time limit. If this attribute has no value, the default is no time limit.
credentialLevel is the identity clients use when binding to the directory. The value must be one of the following: “proxy”, “anonymous”, or “proxy anonymous”. “proxy” means use the configured proxy user. “anonymous” means use anonymous access. “proxy anonymous” means use the configured proxy user and if that fails, bind anonymously. If this attribute has no value, “anonymous” is the default.
defaultSearchBase is the base DN where clients can find name service information, for example ou=hpusers,o=hp.com. This attribute must have a value.
defaultServerList is the same as preferredServerList except the order in which the specified hosts is tried can be interpreted, and defaultServerList is used only after preferredServerList. If neither defaultServerList nor preferredServerList specifies a host, the client tries the host where the profile is. See preferredServerList below.
followReferrals specifies whether or not referrals should be followed. If the entry is 0 (zero) or FALSE, referrals will not be followed. If the attribute has no value, any other numeric value, or TRUE referrals will be followed.
preferredServerList is a list of one or more host IP addresses and optional port numbers where LDAP directory servers are running. Each host is searched in the order given. If this attribute has no value, or if none of the specified servers satisfies the client’s request, the defaultServerList is used. See defaultServerList above.
For example, 15.13.128.145:250 is the host at IP address 15.13.128.145 using port number 250. When specifying multiple hosts, each host:port entry must be separated by a space.
