Configure an LDAP alias service database

If you install IBM Security Verify Access, the high-volume database is used to store the alias information by default. However, now the LDAP database can be used to store alias information.

The alias service manages aliases by accessing an LDAP user registry. The alias service must know information about the LDAP environment that it operates in.

This topic describes the properties that we must specify.

Identify the LDAP environment properties.
