4 Select one or more LDAP servers in the Available Servers list, then click the arrow button to
move them into the Selected Servers list.
5 Click OK to save the list of LDAP servers.
6 Click OK to save the security settings for the post office.
ConsoleOne then notifies the POA to restart so the new LDAP settings can be put into effect.
Corresponding Startup Switches You can also use the
switches in the POA startup file to configure the LDAP server pool and the timeout interval. If you
choose to configure the LDAP server pool in the startup file rather than in ConsoleOne, additional
switches must be provided to complete the configuration (/ldapportpooln, /ldapsslpooln, and
ldapsslkeypooln). Configuring the pool in ConsoleOne is the recommended approach.
If you previously set up LDAP authentication on the post office Security page in ConsoleOne and
then you add the pooling startup switches to the POA startup file, the pooling switches override any
LDAP information provided in ConsoleOne.
Specifying Failover LDAP Servers (Non-SSL Only)
If the POA does not need to use an SSL connection to your LDAP servers, you can use the
ldapipaddr
the POA tries the next LDAP server in the list, and so on until it is able to access the LDAP
directory. This provides failover LDAP servers for the primary LDAP server but does not provide
load balancing, because the primary LDAP server is always contacted first.
1 Make sure you have provided the basic LDAP information on the post office Security page in
ConsoleOne, as described in
2 Edit the POA startup file (
For more information about the POA startup file, see
Switches," on page
3 Use the
between addresses.
For example:
/ldapipaddr-172.16.5.18 172.16.15.19 172.16.5.20
IMPORTANT: Do not include any LDAP servers that require an SSL connection. There is
currently no way to specify multiple SSL key files unless you are using pooled LDAP servers,
as described in
4 Save the POA startup file, then exit the text editor.
5 Stop the POA, then start the POA so that it reads the updated startup file.
