Requirements for using Open Client directory services – PB Docs 2021

You are accessing an Adaptive Server database server using
Open Client Client-Library (CT-Lib) 11.x or later software

You have the required SAP-supported directory service provider
software and SAP-supplied directory driver properly installed and
configured for your environment. Depending on your operating system
platform, examples of supported security mechanisms include the
Windows Registry and Distributed Computing Environment Cell
Directory Services (DCE/CDS).

For information about the directory service providers and
operating system platforms that Appeon has tested with Open Client
directory services, see the Open Client documentation.

You must be able to access a secure Adaptive Server server
using Open Client 11.1.x or later software from outside
PowerBuilder.

To verify the connection, use a tool such as ISQL or
SQL Advantage to make sure you can connect to the server and log in
to the database with the same connection parameters and directory
service options you plan to use in your PowerBuilder
application.

You are using the ASE or SYC Adaptive Server interface to
access the database.

You must use the correct syntax as required by your directory
service provider when specifying the server name in a database
profile or PowerBuilder application script. Different providers
require different syntax based on their format for specifying
directory entry names.

For information and examples for different directory service
providers, see Specifying
the server name with Open Client directory services.

You have set the Release DBParm to 11 or higher to specify
that your application should use the behavior of the appropriate
version of the Open Client CT-Lib software.

For instructions, see Release database parameter in the section called “Release” in Connection Reference.

The directory service provider and driver you are using must
support the service requested by the DBParm.
