Table 2-1 pld.conf file parameters
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| <LDAP_Server> | The LDAP server name |
| "ldap://ldap-server/dc=example,dc=org?uid?one" | The LDAP server IP address to which the authentication request is sent by Session Monitor. As DC and CN are LDAP specific, check the DC and CN values with your Local LDAP configuration. |
| <password> | The password for LDAP server to which authentication to the specific user is to be processed. It should be a Hashed Password. |
| AuthName | "OCSM COM” is the default name provided. It can be modified to any convenient name. |
| {AUTHENTICATE_gecos}e (optional) | gecos is a parameter on your LDAP
Server that stores the permissions for the user. As this is LDAP
specific, check your local LDAP configuration. If permissions are
defined for your user, then you can umcomment this line and change
the parameter name from gecos to the appropriate name defined in
your LDAP. When you log in, OCOM validates the permission received
and then allows User Login.

| {AUTHENTICATE_employeeType}e | Parameter on your LDAP Server that stores the Role for the User. As this is LDAP specific, check with your local LDAP configuration. If roles are defined for your user, then you can umcomment this line and change the parameter name from employee to the appropriate name defined in your LDAP. When you log in, OCOM validates the role received and then allows User Login. |
