NOTES AND DOMINO Q&A
Editing LDAP settings without the server running
By David Gewirtz
Back in 2004, I wrote a couple of short articles about dealing with LDAP problems in Domino. Since then, I've gotten a regular stream of reader letters asking how to solve specific LDAP problems. One such letter is from Venkat Jayasankar, who wants to change LDAP settings without starting the server:
I was going through your post about resolving the LDAP server error in Domino. I have a problem in that. I am unable to start the server and hence am unable to connect to the config file to change the LDAP settings. Please let me know how to go about it without starting the server.
Preventing LDAP from loading automatically.
Ever since Domino 6, LDAP has loaded automatically when the Domino server starts up. If you don't want LDAP to load, you can turn it off by going into the server's NOTES.INI file.
First, find the ServerTasks line in the NOTES.INI file and, if it's there, remove LDAP from that line.
Next, look for a DisableLDAPOnAdmin parameter. If it exists, change its value from from a 0 to a 1. If it's not there, add the following line to the file:
LDAPAddress has gone away
If you were used to the LDAPAddress parameter in Domino 5 and earlier, you might have been confused because it doesn't exist in Domino 6 or 7.
Ever since Domino 5.0.1a, the LDAPAddress NOTES.INI variable is ignored. Instead of using LDAPAddress, IBM recommends: "Bind a Notes TCP port to a specific address, and then have the LDAP service use the Notes port."
Other NOTES.INI LDAP parameters
There are six more NOTES.INI parameters that can control your LDAP installation. These are described below in Table A.
| Parameter |
Description |
| LDAPBatchAdds |
Specifies which views in the Domino Directory the LDAP service updates after processing an LDAP write operation. |
| LDAPConfigUpdateInterval |
Specifies the interval at which the LDAP service detects and puts into effect changes to these configuration settings. |
| LDAPGroupMembership |
Specifies which groups the LDAP service searches. More groups means more time, of course. |
| LDAPName_Update_Supress_Time |
Specifies the maximum length of time that that the results of a query to an LDAP directory, which has been marked for group expansion, will be cached for use in building nameslists. |
| LDAPNotesPort |
Specifies the name of the Notes network port for TCP/IP that you are linking the LDAP service with. |
| LDAPPre55Outlook |
Used by pre-5.5 Microsoft Outlook Express clients |
