Configuring the LDAP Server

---

To configure the LDAP server:

1. In IMail Administrator, select "localhost" in the left panel.
2. Select the "Services" folder, and click on LDAP. The LDAP tab appears.
   
3. Enter the options you want to use to configure the LDAP server.

   Each option is described at the end of this procedure.

4. Click Apply to save your changes.
5. After making changes, stop the service, wait 5-10 seconds and restart the service. Any changes that you make are saved automatically as soon as you press the Stop/Start button.

Logging Options

In the Log To box, select the way you want to log LDAP events:

• sysMMDD.TXT. This sends event information to a file of this name where mm is the month and dd is the day the log was written. This file is stored in the Spool directory.
• No Log. Select this to turn off the logging of events.
• App Log. This sends event information to the Windows NT Application Log (viewed with the Windows NT Event Viewer.)
• Log Server. This sends event information to the Log Server file indicated on the Log Files tab, and to the Spool directory.

Allow queries only. When enabled, an LDAP client can query the server for LDAP information and read the results, but cannot enter or modify LDAP information.

Allow "Search All" requests. You can disable this to force LDAP clients to be more selective in their search criteria.

Maximum number of matches returned per request. Set this to a low number to limit the server load generated by LDAP requests.

Referrals. Set up a referral to another LDAP database. This feature lets the LDAP server notify an LDAP client where to look for additional information (on another LDAP server). To set up a referral, set the following options:

Mode. This determines what a query from an LDAP client will return:

• Send data only returns data from the IMail LDAP server only and does not do a referral.
• Send referral only returns the host name (entered in Hosts) of another LDAP server.
• Send both returns data from the IMail LDAP server and a referral to another LDAP server (entered in Hosts).

Hosts. Enter the host name of the remote LDAP server. You can enter multiple host names, separated by a comma.

Server Status. A status message to the left of the Start/Stop button shows the version number, and whether or not the service is running.

Start/Stop Service. This button toggles between Start and Stop depending on whether or not the service is running.
