Virtual Server Session Initiation Protocol Service Configuration Options (/cfg/slb/virt/service/ldap) 
Command Syntax and Usage
name
 
Sets a description of up to 32 characters for the virtual service.
ssl
 
Displays the SSL Load Balancing menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/virt <server number>/service/ldap/ssl SSL Load Balancing Menu.
report service|real
 
Sets the service reporting level.
Alteon devices can send Device Performance Monitoring (DPM) data to Cyber Controller (or APSolute Vision 4.x). Cyber Controller processes the data and can display the information in the Device Performance Monitoring Web interface.
Values:
*service — Device Performance Monitoring statistics are collected and displayed for each virtual service.
*real — Device Performance Monitoring statistics are collected and displayed for each virtual service per group per real server.
Default: service
reset disable|enable
 
Specifies whether to enable LDAP server reset when the session has timed out (a long-lived LDAP connection exceeds the Alteon maximum session length of 32,768 minutes) before the LDAP connection is closed.
If a long-lived LDAP connection exceeds Alteon’s maximum session length (32,768 minutes), the session ages out before the LDAP connection is closed. Alteon may then create another session to accept the same connection data. To prevent this, Alteon can be configured to send a reset to a real server whose session has timed out before the LDAP connection is closed.
Default: disable
ldapslb disable|enable
 
Specifies whether to enable LDAP-aware server load balancing.
This enables sending read operations to read servers and, when a write operation arrives on the same TCP connection, disconnecting from the read server and reconnecting to a write server.
Note: This parameter must be disabled if an AppShape++ script is attached to the service. In such cases the AppShape++ script provides the application awareness.
An LDAP connection is set up via Layer 4 load balancing and is bound to a read server. After that, operation frames received by Alteon are checked at Layer 7 to determine if there are any write operations. The bind and write operation data frames are stored for potential later use. When a write operation arrives, Alteon disconnects the connection to the read server and re-initiates another connection with the write server without the client’s knowledge. Once the connection is set up with the write server, all the later requests go to the write server until an unbind request is received by Alteon. All these operations occur within one TCP connection.
After the reset is sent to the old server, a connection is set up to the new server. Stored data frames are forwarded to the server. After the write operation is forwarded to the server, the connection is spliced.
Default: disable
