17.3. Configuring the PTA Plug-in

The only method for configuring the PTA plug-in is to modify the entry cn=Pass Through
Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config. To modify the PTA configuration, do the following:
1. Use the ldapmodify command to modify cn=Pass Through
Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config.
2. Restart Directory Server.
Before configuring any of the PTA Plug-in parameters, the PTA Plug-in entry must be present in the
Directory Server. If this entry does not exist, create it with the appropriate syntax, as described in
Section 17.2, "PTA Plug-in
430
1
Syntax".
Definition
Optional. The time limit, in seconds, that the
PTA directory waits for a response from the
authenticating Directory Server. If this timeout
is exceeded, the server returns an error to the
client. The default is 300 seconds (five minutes).
Specify zero (0) to indicate no time limit should
Section 17.3.5, "Configuring
be enforced. See
the Optional Parameters"
Optional. The version of the LDAP protocol
used to connect to the authenticating directory.
Directory Server supports LDAP version 2 and
3. The default is version 3, and Red Hat strongly
recommends against using LDAPv2, which is
old and will be deprecated. See
"Configuring the Optional Parameters"
information.
Optional. The time limit, in seconds, within which
a connection may be used. If a bind request is
initiated by a client after this time has expired,
the server closes the connection and opens a
new connection to the authenticating directory.
The server will not close the connection unless
a bind request is initiated and the directory
determines the connection lifetime has been
exceeded. If this option is not specified, or if
only one host is listed, no connection lifetime
will be enforced. If two or more hosts are listed,
the default is 300 seconds (five minutes).
