<h1 class="topictitle1">Interaction with <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Directory
Server (LDAP)</h1>
<div><p>An LDAP directory is a listing of information about objects arranged
in a particular order that gives details about each object.</p>
<p>One special characteristic of directories is that they are accessed (read
or searched) much more often than they are updated (written). Hundreds of
people might look up an individual's phone number, but the phone number rarely
changes.</p>
<p>For more information about <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Directory
Server (LDAP), see the following topics:</p>
<ul><li><a href="../rzahy/rzahyrzahywelpo.htm">Directory

<li><a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ldap" target="_blank"><span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Directory
Server (LDAP)</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information&#xA;Center" /> (http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ldap). The <span class="uicontrol">Articles
and Publications</span> section has links to articles, redbooks and other
related LDAP books.</li>
</ul>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">LDAP configuration</h4><p>When you configure the LDAP server,
you must specify the suffixes you want to be provided on the LDAP server.
For example, the suffix dc=myhost,dc=mycompany,dc=com is the default suffix
that is set up when the LDAP server is automatically configured for the server
that has the TCP/IP host name of myhost.mycompany.com. Objects in a directory
are referenced by a distinguished name (DN) attribute. You must specify a
path (parent DN) where you want your IBM<sup>®</sup> Telephone Directory information to exist.
The default parent DN that is used is cn=users prepended to the TCP/IP hostname.
For example: cn=users,dc=myhost,dc=mycompany,dc=com.</p>
<p>Certain applications
use IBM Welcome
Page V1.1 for configuration.For example, the LDAP server is configured for
use with the IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 but set up in the IBM Welcome Page V1.1 application during
installation. When the application is installed, it uses the default value
cn=users and prepends it to the host name. You can override the default value
by specifying which parent DN value you want to use during installation. IBM Telephone
Directory information can reside in an existing location where organizational
information is already kept. It also can exist in a new location. For example,
if you have an existing organization o=company that has existing inetOrgPerson
entries, you can configure IBM Telephone Directory to use this parent DN, and it
will access your existing information. The inetOrgPerson object class is an
industry standard class that is commonly used to represent and store information
about people, such as first and last name, telephone numbers, and email addresses.
Installation of the application also creates additional entries in the parent
DN for IBM Telephone
Directory to use. The entries created are:</p>
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">cn=Administrators</span> <p>This is a group that has authority
to create, update, search, and delete entries in the directory."</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">cn=Administrator</span> <p>This is a user that is a member
of the cn=Administrators group and has authority to create, update, search,
and delete entries in the directory. The user name you specify when authenticating
in the application is Administrator and the password is the password specified
during installation.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">cn=itdCreateAdministrator</span> <p>This
user is created when open enrollment is specified during installation. It
allows users to only be added to the application and is used when registering
users in the application for open enrollment.</p>
</li>
