PTA Plug-in Syntax

NOTE

The LDAP URL (ldapldaps://authDS/subtree) must be separated from the optional parameters (maxconns, maxops, timeout, ldver, connlifetime) by a single space. If any of the optional parameters are defined, all of them must be defined, even if only the default values are used.

Several authenticating directories or subtrees can be specified by incrementing the nsslapd-pluginargattribute suffix by one each time, as in Section 4.2, “Specifying Multiple Authenticating Directory Servers”. For example:

nsslapd-pluginarg0: LDAP URL for the first server

nsslapd-pluginarg1: LDAP URL for the second server

nsslapd-pluginarg2: LDAP URL for the third server

...

The optional parameters are described in the following table in the order in which they appear in the syntax.

Variable

Definition

 

 

state

Defines whether the plug-in is enabled or

 

disabled. Acceptable values are on or off.

 

See Section 3.1, “Turning the Plug-in On or

 

Off” for more information.

 

 

ldapldaps

Defines whether SSL is used for

 

communication between the two Directory

 

Servers. See Section 3.2, “Configuring the

 

Servers to Use a Secure Connection” for

 

more information.

 

 

authDS

The authenticating directory hostname. The

 

port number of the Directory Server can be

 

given by adding a colon and then the port

 

number. For example,

 

ldap://dirserver.example.com:389/. If

 

the port number is not specified, the PTA

 

server attempts to connect using either of the

 

standard ports:

 

Port 389 if ldap:// is specified in the URL.

 

Port 636 if ldaps:// is specified in the URL.

 

See Section 3.3, “Specifying the

 

Authenticating Directory Server” for more

 

information.
