Creating LDAP Entries for SequeLink® Services

If you are using LDAP directories to store connection information for SequeLink services, you must create a single LDAP directory entry for each SequeLink service and identify that LDAP directory entry by a Distinguished Name (DN). The LDAP entry must contain the TCP/IP host name of the SequeLink Server and the TCP/IP port on which the SequeLink Server is listening. Optionally, the LDAP entry can contain a server data source to use for the connection to the SequeLink Server. If a server data source is not specified, the default data source is used by the client.

Table 16-1 shows an example of an LDAP directory entry and attributes you may want to store in an LDAP entry for a SequeLink service.
