To use Open Client 11.1 directory services in your PowerBuilder or InfoMaker application, all of the following must be true:
- SQL Server 10.x or 11.x through Open Client 11.1
You are accessing a Sybase SQL Server 10.x or 11.x database server using Sybase Open Client Client-Library (CT-Lib) 11.1 software.
- Directory service provider and driver
You have the required Sybase-supported directory service provider software and Sybase-supplied directory driver properly installed and configured for your environment. Depending on your operating system platform, examples of supported directory service providers include: the Windows NT Registry, Distributed Computing Environment Cell Directory Services (DCE/CDS), Banyan StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA), and Novell NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
- For information about the third-party directory service providers and operating system platforms Powersoft has tested with Open Client 11.1 directory services, see the Release Notes.
- Can access the server outside PowerBuilder or InfoMaker
You must be able to access the SQL Server 10.x or 11.x server using Sybase Open Client 11.1 software from outside PowerBuilder or InfoMaker.
To verify the connection, use a tool such as ISQL or WISQL to make sure you can connect to the server and log on to the database with the same connection parameters and directory service options that you plan to use in your PowerBuilder or InfoMaker application.
- Powersoft database interface
You are using either the Sybase Systems 10 and 11 database interface (on Windows or UNIX) or the Sybase Systems 10 and 11 distributed application interface (on UNIX) to access the database.
- Correct server name specification
You must use 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.
- Release DBParm set to '11'
You have set the Release DBParm parameter to '11' to specify that your application should use Open Client CT-Lib 11.x behavior.
- Directory service provider and driver support requested service
The directory service provider and driver you are using must support the service requested by the DBParm parameter.
