Manual LDAP Configuration For CW8.1

Hello Ray,

This information is stored in:

D:\CW\V81\scratch\esa\esa.properties 

We really don't recommend changing this file. If you have to as you're stuck, please make a backup of this file prior as incorrect changes can lead to the services not starting upon a restart and you may need to revert back to the old file.

The properties you'd be looking for are:

esa.ldap.connectionName - ldap connection name
esa.ldap.connectionURL - ldap URL
esa.ldap.userBase - base of where users are searched from

Changing the password would be a bit more difficult if you have encrypted it (esa.ldap.connectionPassword.enc is filled in and it looks like CWE1).

The guide has a description of all the LDAP properties in the Systems Adminstrator guide on page 36 (DOC8121).

Once you've made those changes you would need to restart the services.

Again, please ensure you've a backup of that properties file in-case you need to revert - otherwise it could result in a system down.
