Configuring LDAP Access to Directory Data

The SRC software stores subscriber, service, persistent login, policy, router, and cached subscriber profiles and session data in a directory. The SAE uses LDAP to store and retrieve the data. You can configure the LDAP connections to the directories in which this data is stored. You can also select the filter that the SAE uses to search for subscriptions in the directory and directory eventing parameters for data stored in the directory.

The tasks to configure LDAP access to directory data are:
