Release Notes

4.8 Netscape LDAP directory support

DB2 supports the use of an LDAP directory for central administration and consolidation of database and node directories. In previous releases of DB2, only Microsoft Active Directory and IBM SecureWay Directory were supported. DB2 now also supports the following LDAP Servers: Netscape Directory Server v4.12 or later, iPlanet^(TM) Directory Server 5.0 or later

4.8.1 Extending the Netscape LDAP schema

The following instructions are for Netscape Directory Server 4.1:

The Netscape Directory Server allows applications to extend the schema by adding attribute and object class definitions into the following two files, slapd.user_oc.conf and slapd.user_at.conf. These two files are located in the <Netscape_install path>\slapd-<machine_name>\config directory.

The DB2 attributes must be added to the slapd.user_at.conf as follows

Note:

In this context, bin, cis, ces, and dn stand for binary, case insensitive string, case sensitive string, and distinguished name, respectively.
