To use OpenLDAP as a Configuration Repository

Before you can use the OpenLDAP repository, you must install the required Micro Focus schema extensions and application containers. For more information, see Manual steps for installing Micro Focus schema extensions and application containers under OpenLDAP.

1. On the OpenLDAP repository, create a container to hold the configuration data. For example:
   1. Create an LDIF input file, mf-repository.ldf with the following contents.

      dn: cn=MFDS Repository,cn=Micro Focus,dc=my-domain,dc=com
      cn: MFDS Repository
      objectClass: container
      

   2. Create the container using the ldapadd command.

      ldapadd -v -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -w secret -f mf-repository.ldf

2. You now change the repository location.
   1. Click Options under Configure on the menu on the left-hand side of an Enterprise Server Administration Web page.
   2. From the drop-down list under Repository location select ldap:// .
   3. Specify the LDAP server, connection information and the LDAP credentials required to write to the server. For example:

      Repository Location:	ldap://localhost:389
      Repository Container Distinguished Name:	cn=MFDS Repository,cn=Micro Focus,dc=my-domain,dc=com
      User DN:	cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com
      Password:	secret

   4. Click OK.
