LDAP_LINK_DRYRUN_CONNECT

Takes a set of LDAP Link connection parameters as arguments and begins a dry run connection between the LDAP server and OpenText™ Analytics Database.

Takes a set of LDAP Link connection parameters as arguments and begins a dry run connection between the LDAP server and OpenText™ Analytics Database.

By providing an empty string for the LDAPLinkBindPswd argument, you can also perform an anonymous bind if your LDAP server allows unauthenticated binds.

The dryrun and LDAP_LINK_SYNC_START functions must be run from the clerk node. To determine the clerk node, query NODE_RESOURCES:

=> SELECT node_name, dbclerk FROM node_resources WHERE dbclerk='t';
    node_name     | dbclerk
------------------+---------
 v_vmart_node0001 | t
(1 row)

This is a meta-function. You must call meta-functions in a top-level SELECT statement.

Dry Run Connect Completed. Query v_monitor.ldap_link_dryrun_events for results.

To check the results of the bind, query the system table LDAP_LINK_DRYRUN_EVENTS.

=> SELECT event_timestamp, event_type, entry_name, role_name, link_scope, search_base from LDAP_LINK_DRYRUN_EVENTS;
        event_timestamp       |       event_type      |      entry_name      | link_scope | search_base
