LDAP Connection

This topic describes how to configure a connection to the LDAP server in order to query data using the LDAP Query node.

Parameter Description
Configuration Name

The name of the configuration that this connection is associated with.

You can have one LDAP connection per configuration.

More information about configuration sets is available in another section.

Note: 

If you have selected to edit this connection from within a configuration set, the name of the set is displayed and is not editable.
Ldap Root Specify the LDAP server and port information using the format ldap://<LDAPserver>:<port>
Enable SSL Select this check box if you want to connect to the LDAP server over SSL.
Principal Specify the user id or principal name that is used to connect to the LDAP server. This can be empty if the LDAP server does not need credentials to connect.
Password Specify the password that is used to connect to the LDAP server. This can be empty if the LDAP server does not need credentials to connect.
Connection Time Out (Seconds)

Specify the timeout value for connecting to the LDAP server. The LDAP Query node will timeout if connection is not established within the given time.

The default value is 0, that is, the LDAP Query node will timeout only when the server gives up.
Read Time Out (Seconds)

Specify the timeout value for reading/searching records on the LDAP server. The LDAP Query node will timeout if read/search is not done within the given time.

The default value is 0, that is, the LDAP Query node will timeout only when the server gives up.
Page Size

Specify the number of records which will be returned for each page.

For example, if there are 10,000 records and the page size is 1000, then there will be 10 pages returned with each page containing 1000 records.

The default value is 10,000. If no value is specified, then only one page will be returned containing the maximum number of records (10,000).

The paging value can be specified based on how big your server RAM is. A big paging size will increase the performance of the LDAP Query node, but will also increase the memory use of the server.
