Configuring Additional LDAP Settings

In addition to the LDAP configuration options available in the Horizon Information Portal Admin (see Configuring Additional LDAP Settings), you can configure connect and read timeout parameters, as well as searching of referrals, by changing the hip.properties file.

This section explains these topics:

To configure additional LDAP settings (UNIX or Linux)

1 Log in to the Application Server as the root user.
2 Go to the directory where you installed Application Server software.
If you installed Application Server software in the default directory, enter this command at the “#” prompt:

cd /opt/dynix/appserver/jboss/server/default/conf

If you installed Application Server software in a different directory, enter this command at the “#” prompt:

cd /directory where you installed Application Server software/jboss/server/default/conf

3 Open the hip.properties file in a text editor.
4 If you want to change the connect timeout value, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.connect.timeout=

Change the value as appropriate, using a value in milliseconds. The default value is 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds).

5 If you want to change the read timeout value, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.read.timeout=

Change the value as appropriate, using a value in milliseconds. The default value is 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

6 If you want to change the setting for whether the search includes referrals, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.referrals=

Change the value to true to indicate that the search should include referrals. The default value is false (meaning that referrals are not included).

7 Save the file and exit the text editor.
8 Restart the Application Server (unless doing this as part of the configuration specified in Setting Up LDAP Authentication for a Profile).

To configure additional LDAP settings (Windows)

1 Log in to the Application Server as a user with administrator privileges.
2 Go to the directory where you installed Application Server software.
If you installed Application Server software in the default directory, go to this directory:

c:\dynix\hzapp\jboss\server\default\conf

If you installed Application Server software in a different directory, go to this directory:

drive letter:\directory where you installed Application Server software\jboss\server\default\conf

3 Open the hip.properties file in a text editor.
4 If you want to change the connect timeout value, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.connect.timeout=

Change the value as appropriate, using a value in milliseconds. The default value is 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds).

5 If you want to change the read timeout value, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.read.timeout=

Change the value as appropriate, using a value in milliseconds. The default value is 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

6 If you want to change the setting for whether the search includes referrals, locate the line that starts with this text:

ldap.referrals=

Change the value to true to indicate that the search should include referrals. The default value is false (meaning that referrals are not included).

7 Save the file and exit the text editor.
8 Restart the Application Server (unless doing this as part of the configuration specified in Setting Up LDAP Authentication for a Profile).
