Adaptive Server communicates with other Adaptive Servers, Open Server
applications (such as Backup Server), and client software on your network.
Clients can talk to one or more servers, and servers can communicate with
other servers by remote procedure calls.
For Sybase products to interact with one another, each product must know
where the others reside on the network. This information is stored in the
interfaces file on Windows or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) server.
Use the libtcl.cfg files to specify an LDAP server name, port number, DIT base,
user name, and password to connect to an LDAP server.
The default libtcl.cfg file is located in %SYBASE%|%SYBASE_OCS%\ini.
In its simplest form on 32-bit LDAP drivers, the libtcl.cfg file is in this format:
[DIRECTORY]
ldap=libsybdldap.dll
where ldapurl is defined as:
ldap://host:port/ditbase
For a 64-bit LDAP driver, the format is:
[DIRECTORY]
ldap=libsybdldap64.dll
You can use either a 32-bit or a 64-bit LDAP driver on Windows x64.
When an LDAP server is specified in the libtcl.cfg file and the libtcl64.cfg file
(when applicable to your platform), the server information is accessible only
from the LDAP server. Adaptive Server ignores the interfaces file. Open Client
and Open Server applications that use the
libtcl.cfg file and use the interfaces file.
To use a directory service, you must:
1 Configure the libtcl.cfg file, and the libtcl64.cfg file (when applicable,) to
use directory services.
Use any standard ASCII text editor to:
