Hi Shilpa,

I got the solution

Make a entry at the start of mds.ini file

[MDM LDAP]

LDAP in Use=True

Restart the MDM Server. Now try to login into the repository, it wont allow you and throw the error "mds.ini problem" and automatically inserts the LDAP specific parameters in mds.ini.

Kindly update us..

Hi Shilpa,

Add the entry LDAP in Use=True in MDS.ini file and restart the MDM Server. Now open the mds.ini file, you should get the LDAP Section.

Hi Shilpa,

Its just a parameter, you can add this any where in the file but dont forget to restart the MDM Server.

Hi Shilpa,

Just try entering the parameters manually and check whether its working properly or not.

Refer the path for LDAP parameters
