DPOD includes an LDAP configuration script for easy configuration of DPOD to use an LDAP user registry.
In case of enabling LDAP, the The script uses a user-provided parameters file with the desired configuration. It verifies the configuration, updates the configuration database and files and restarts the necessary services.
It can also disable the LDAP configuration in order to rollback to the internal database registry.
Please make sure to gather all the information listed in Planning LDAP Configuration, which includes detailed explanation on all the parameters.
