To configure the Security Facility to use the MLDAP ESM

The Enterprise Server External Security Facility connects to external LDAP servers through the MLDAP ESM module. To configure this:

1. Add a security manager to the security manager pool as described by To add a security manager to the pool and specify the following details:
   • Name - This is the name (for example, you might call it MLDAP) that you will use to refer to the security manager when adding it to particular security manager lists.
   • Module - Enter mldap_esm.
   • Connection Path - Enter the address for your LDAP server (e.g. localhost:389).
   • Authorized ID and Password - These refer to the credentials that the MLDAP ESM module will use to connect to and, if you are using the MF Directory Server screens for managing users and resources, write any necessary information to the LDAP server.

   Make sure that the Enabled option is checked. If it is not, the security manager will not be used by any security manager list to which it is added.

2. Add the security manager to the security manager list for the relevant servers. See To add a security manager to an enterprise server's security manager list, To add a security manager to the Directory server's security manager list and To add a Security Manager to the Default ES Security Manager List.
