The es-ldap-setup AD Setup Script

The es-ldap-setup script defines the LDAP object classes and containers (the schema) that will hold ES data. That is, it configures AD LDS or AD so that you can use it with Enterprise Server.

By default, the script is installed by default into the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\bin directory.

The full syntax for es-ldap-setup is:

es-ldap-setup [/?] [/AD] username password partition server

• The /? option will display a syntax message and information about what actions the script will perform.
• The /AD option tells the script that you are using AD rather than AD LDS, so it will not try to create an LDAP administrative user account.
• The username should be the name of an existing or new administrative user for the LDAP server. (For AD, this user must already exist and have suitable permissions.) It defaults to the current user's name.
• Password is the LDAP administrator's initial password; it defaults to "password". You can change this password (or even disable or remove the administrative user account created by the script) after the script runs.
• The partition parameter specifies the LDAP distinguished name (DN) of the application partition where the ES LDAP objects should be created. The default is "CN=Micro Focus,CN=Program Data,DC=local", which is generally suitable for use with AD LDS, but AD users will probably need to specify the DN of a container within their corporate LDAP hierarchy. See your LDAP administrator for more information.
• The server parameter is the hostname and port of the LDAP server. It defaults to "localhost:389", which is the standard address for an LDAP server running on the local machine.

Most users will run es-ldap-setup with no parameters, but in some cases you may want to specify a username and password:

• If you're running es-ldap-setup under your normal login ID, and using your local AD LDS installation as your LDAP server, just run it with no parameters.
• If you're using ES with AD, specify the /AD option and all four parameters. Provide the username of a user with administrative access to AD, and that user's password; the DN of the part of the LDAP repository that will hold ES data; and the hostname and port of the AD server.
• If you're running es-ldap-setup under an administrative account that isn't your normal login ID, it's usually best to specify your normal login ID as the username. That way, if you want to run the cas-to-ad utility in the future, you can run it under your normal login ID rather than having to specify a different user.
• If you want a password other than the default "password", specify both the username and password parameters.
• If you need to specify one parameter, you also have to provide values for the parameters before it. For example; if you need to specify a different LDAP server, you'll have to provide username, password, and partition as well.

These are the actions es-ldap-setup performs:

1. Prompts for values for username, etc, if they are not specified on the command line. Press Enter to accept the default, or supply a different value.
2. If AD LDS (or AD) is not configured to allow password operations over unsecured connections, the script will configure it to allow them. This is required by some of the following actions. If the script changes this option on the server, it will reset it to its old value before exiting.
3. Adds the ES user, group, and resource LDAP class definitions to the schema. These specify what attributes each of these types of object has.
4. Adds the container objects for ES to the repository.
5. Creates MFReader, the default LDAP user account for ES.

Before each action, es-ldap-setup will pause and tell you what it's about to do. When it finishes, it will report how many actions succeeded and how many failed, and give a list of the failing actions, which you can provide to Micro Focus Support if you have questions.
