Use the setldapinit subcommand to set the parameter string that is required to connect a Rational ClearQuest database set to the LDAP directory used for authentication. It is run once per domain, site, or both, if applicable.
By default, if an LDAP search returns a referral object, the LDAP libraries search for the referral object until it is found. Rational ClearQuest versions 2003.06.15 and above support LDAP with referral chasing enabled on the LDAP server as long as the base search path does not start at the top of the LDAP directory tree. When setting up LDAP authentication for a ClearQuest database set, you may choose to temporarily turn off referral chasing on the LDAP server. Alternatively, you may choose to deploy a separate LDAP server for ClearQuest with referral chasing disabled.

For example, if the LDAP server does not allow anonymous searches, ask your LDAP administrator to create an LDAP account with privileges that allow Rational ClearQuest to perform the search of the LDAP directory as specified by the setldapsearch subcommand. Use the –D and –w options to specify the bindname and password of such a search account.
