Configuring LDAP Authentication on Windows

You can configure the connector to use the LDAP protocol to authenticate the connection.

Note:

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

To configure LDAP authentication on Windows:

  1. Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, and then click Configure.
  2. From the Authentication Type drop-down list, select LDAP Authentication.
  3. In the User field, type an appropriate user name for accessing the data store.
  4. In the Password field, type the password corresponding to the user name that you specified above.
  5. To encrypt your credentials, select one of the following:
    • If the credentials are used only by the current Windows user, select Current User Only.
    • Or, if the credentials are used by all users on the current Windows machine, select All Users Of This Machine.
  6. To configure client-server verification over SSL, click SSL Options. For more information, see Configuring SSL Verification on Windows.
  7. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.

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