Definition
The pass-through subtree. The PTA directory server passes through bind
requests to the authenticating directory server from all clients whose DN is in
this subtree.
See "Specifying the Pass-Through Subtree," on page 489 for more information.
Optional. The maximum number of connections the PTA directory can
simultaneously open to the authenticating directory. The default is 3.
See "Configuring the Optional Parameters," on page 490 for more information.
Optional. The maximum number of simultaneous operations (usually bind
requests) the PTA directory can send to the authenticating directory within a
single connection. The default is 5.
See "Configuring the Optional Parameters," on page 490 for more information.
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 be enforced.
See "Configuring the Optional Parameters," on page 490 for more information.
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.
See "Configuring the Optional Parameters," on page 490 for more 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 you do not specify this option, 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).
See "Configuring the Optional Parameters," on page 490 for more information.
