CHAPTER 6 Using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol as a Directory Service

Migrating from the interfaces file to LDAP

There is no direct method to upgrade an existing server using the interfaces file to one that uses lightweight directory services. To upgrade a previous release of Adaptive Server to Adaptive Server version 15.0, see the Installation Guide for Windows.

Once you have upgraded the server, you can configure your server to use

LDAP service.

1Shut down the server. See Chapter 2, “Starting and Stopping Servers.”

2Edit the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/libtcl.cfg or libtcl64.cfg file to add the directory service. See “Enabling LDAP directory services” on page 74.

3Use dsedit and add the server entry to directory service. See “Adding a server to the directory services” on page 76.

4Restart your server.
