Entering Your LDAP Settings
Windchill Directory Server is an LDAP-compliant enterprise directory that is bundled with your solution. Windchill Directory Server is required for managing PTC operation definitions. It can also optionally manage PTC user information.
When installing Windchill Directory Server on a separate machine from your solution, Windchill Directory Server automatically installs Java SE Development Kit (JDK).
* 
The Windchill Directory Server must be installed on local disk. It must not be installed on NFS mounts, or other non-local disk. Attempting to install the Windchill Directory Server on non—local storage can cause data corruption, file locking issues and startup failures. In addition, antivirus software must be turned off or be configured to avoid scanning in the Windchill Directory Server installation directory.
The LDAP settings create a default LDAP directory structure.
* 
Depending on the product you are installing, the default LDAP directory structure is different.
Define the settings for the Windchill Directory Server LDAP directory:
* 
Select the Custom Configuration checkbox to use the configurations specified earlier as your default values.
* 
The following is a complete list of possible options; some may not appear depending on whether you are installing on the same server as your solution or as a standalone component.

Default values are taken from the configurations provided when configuring your Information Exchange Settings.
cn=configuration,
cn=Servigistics InService_6.xx,
o=PTC
Define the distinguished name of the LDAP entry in the top subtree under which Servigistics InService configuration LDAP entries reside.
You can enter any unique base unless you entered a context name as part of the distinguished name entered here. By default, no context name was required when you installed Windchill Directory Server.

Default values are taken from the configurations provided when configuring your Information Exchange Settings.
ou=people,
cn=AdministrativeLdap,
cn=Servigistics InService_6.xx,
o=ptc

You can edit this field to change the suggested name.

cn=EnterpriseLdap,
cn=Servigistics InService_6.xx,

Define the distinguished name of an LDAP subtree under which Enterprise LDAP entries reside. Users and groups under this subtree will be visible to Servigistics InService. If a separate LDAP server such as Active Directory is to be used as the source of Servigistics InService usernames and passwords, set this value to the location where Servigistics InService users are located in this other LDAP server. If there are multiple branches in the LDAP, set the value to the base of all branches. The bind user (to be entered later) must have at least read permission to the location. For example:cn=Users,dc=atwood,dc=com
