HP Neoview Release 2.5 Software - Manual (Page 135)

by default if no value is specified when an individual server is configured. Parameters are
server-specific and can be different on different servers or in different domains.
The following table shows you the parameters that can be used in Common Parameters and
Parameters
fields for LDAP server configuration. Note that common parameters are evaluated
at runtime.
NOTE: If you use NCI for LDAP server configuration, you must create a default configuration
description file. The configuration description file is a text file that assigns values to the common
parameters. HPDM users do not need to create a configuration description file, but they should
be aware of the file if it exists.
If, for example, you use both HPDM and NCI at different times to manage the server
configurations, changes that are made in the Common Parameters affect the default server
configuration. Conversely, if you use NCI to alter a server configuration, specifying a new default
configuration file, the values in that file will overwrite the values you specified earlier as Common
Parameters
in HPDM. For more information about the default configuration description file,
see the Neoview User Management and Security Administration Guide.
