Publishing directory information to LDAP

Publishing directory information to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) lets you put IBM® i information about a directory into LDAP. Applications can then use this information.

To use System i® Navigator to publish directory information to LDAP, follow these steps:
  1. Open System i Navigator.
  2. Right-click on the system name.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. Select the Directory Services tab.
  5. Select the user information to publish to the LDAP directory server.

For details on publishing directory information to LDAP using System i Navigator, see Publish information to the directory server.

Publishing directory information to LDAP can also be accomplished through the use of a character-based interface. For details on publishing directory information to LDAP using a character-based interface, see this alphabetic list of APIs.

For general information about LDAP and publishing, see System i LDAP (http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/software/ldap/) Link outside Information Center.
