LDAP authentication support on Windows™

LDAP authentication support on Windows

LDAP Authentication on Windows™ is set up and configured like the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) that is used on UNIX™ and Linux™. Use the LDAP Authentication Support module when you want to use an LDAP server to authenticate your system users. The module contains source code that you can modify for your specific LDAP Authentication Support module.

The authentication module is a DLL that usually is located in the %ONEDB_HOME%\dbssodir\lib\security directory. The parameters of the module are listed in the %ONEDB_HOME%\dbssodir\pam.conf file. The source code for a fully functional LDAP Authentication Module and samples of the required configuration files are included in the %ONEDB_HOME%\demo\authentication directory.

The LDAP Authentication Module provides single-module authentication only. The module does not support features such as module stacking. The system administrator can enable or disable the authentication.
