The first stage of the connection process involves establishing a network connection. The dialog that appears depends on whether the connection has been configured to connect directly to an OpenAccess SDK service or to retrieve connection information for the service from a centralized LDAP directory.
Connecting Directly to an OpenAccess SDK Service
If the connection has been configured to connect directly to an OpenAccess SDK service, the Connect to Service dialog box appears.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Service Host: Type the TCP/IP host name of the OpenAccess service.
Service Port: Type the TCP/IP port on which the OpenAccess SDK service is listening. A default installation of OpenAccess SDK Server uses the port 19986.
Service Data Source: Type the name of a server data source to use for the connection or click the ... button to select an existing data source. This step is optional. If a server data source is not specified, the default server data source for that service will be used for the connection.
Retrieving Connection Information from an LDAP Directory
If the connection has been configured to connect to an LDAP server to retrieve connection information from an LDAP directory, the Connect to the OpenAccess Server dialog box appears.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
LDAP Server Host: Type the TCP/IP host name of the LDAP server.
LDAP Server Port: Type the TCP/IP port on which the LDAP server is listening.
Distinguished Name: Type the Distinguished Name (DN) of the LDAP entry.
For information about setting up an LDAP server for OpenAccess SDK, refer to the OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide.
