Parameter

Description

See LDAP Connection String.

  • The first LDAP resource's user details are always used in the project even if different resources are attached in different steps for the same LDAP server.

  • For admin access, you need to copy the secmod.db, cert7.db, and key3.db files to the Magic xpi root folder. If these files were not installed with the installation of Magic xpi, then you can copy them from the LDAP server.
