Configuring LDAP Authentication on a Non-Windows Machine

You can configure the connector to use the LDAP protocol to authenticate the connection. You can set the connection properties in a connection string or in a DSN (in the odbc.ini file). Settings in the connection string take precedence over settings in the DSN.

Note:

If LDAP authentication is enabled, then SSL is automatically enabled.

To configure LDAP authentication on a non-Windows machine:

  1. Set the AuthenticationType property to LDAP Authentication.
  2. Set the UID property to an appropriate user name for accessing the data store.
  3. Set the PWD property to the password corresponding to the user name that you specified above.
  4. Configure the SSL settings as described in Configuring SSL Verification on a Non-Windows Machine.

You can now use the connector to authenticate through LDAP and connect to your Starburst Enterprise server.
