LDAP Directory Properties

Use this screen to set the LDAP directory properties that are required by PTC.Setup.

Note: An LDAP directory is used for storing the LDAP entries related to Info*Engine and to other Windchill software. The only LDAP directory that PTC.Setup supports is the Aphelion Directory. For more information about the Aphelion Directory, see the Aphelion documentation.

For detailed information about installing and using the Aphelion Directory with Info*Engine, see the Info*Engine Installation and Configuration Guide.

Fill in the following LDAP Directory Access fields:

• Server Host Name—specifies the host where the existing LDAP directory resides.
• Port Number—specifies the port number used by the existing LDAP directory. Change the default if the directory uses a different port.
• Administrator Distinguished Name—specifies the distinguished name of the existing LDE manager or a distinguished name that has sufficient privileges to add LDAP entries to the directory.
• Administrator Password—specifies the current password that is used by the distinguished name that you specify.
• Base Distinguished Name—specifies the distinguished name of the top subtree LDAP entry under which the installed LDAP entries will reside. PTC.Setup does the following:
  • If the subtree entry exists, PTC.Setup overwrites existing entries under specified subtree entry that have the same names as those supplied through the installation.
  • If the subtree entry does not exist, PTC.Setup creates it.
  The specified distinguished name becomes the initial entry used for the Info*Engine Naming Service search base.
