ldap_enetwork_domain_set()-- Store the User's Default eNetwork Domain Name

Syntax #include <ldap.h> int ldap_enetwork_domain_set( char *edomain, char *filename) Threadsafe: Yes

The ldap_enetwork_domain_set() API is used to store the user's default eNetwork domain name (specified as a NULL terminated string).

The eNetwork domain name (along with the user's default Domain Name Service (DNS) domain name) is used to identify the user's LDAP authentication domain. For example, if a user's eNetwork domain name is "chicago", and the user's DNS domain is midwest.illinois.com, then information can be published in DNS that associates ldap.chicago.midwest.illinois.com with a collection of LDAP servers (master(s) and replicas). This permits applications to easily find an appropriate LDAP authentication server, by using the ldap_server_locate() API.

An application can retrieve the eNetwork domain name by calling ldap_enetwork_domain_get().

The eNetwork domain name is stored on disk. For the AS/400 the default file the information will be stored will be called ldap_user_info and will be put into the users home directory. A users home directory is specified in the users profile. The home directory must be created prior to calling ldap_enetwork_domain_set() and is not created as part of the creation of a users profile. It will be stored in the local character set format. The caller must have Execute (*X) authority to each directory in the path name preceding the name of the user information file. The caller must have write (*W) authority to the user information file.

Authorities and Locks

No OS/400 authority is required. All authority checking is done by the LDAP server.

Parameters

edomain

(Input) Specifies the name of the eNetwork domain to which the user belongs.
