IC70114: DEFAULT LDAP REFERAL PARAMETER SET TO "IGNORE" AFTER DEFAULT TPCINSTALLATION.

4.2.1 Interim Fix 1 (November 2011) for Tivoli Storage Productivity Center

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DETAIL OF PROBLEM:
  The TPC installer sets the LDAP referral parameter to "ignore"
  during installation,
  and does not give the user the option to select "follow" which
  is needed in larger
  LDAP environments that operate more than one LDAP server.
  Setting the parameter to
  "follow" allows TIP to follow referrals to other LDAP servers at
  the expense of
  possible performance degradation.  This APAR adds the ability to
  select ignore or
  follow during install time.
