Description

The db_configure ConfD job can be used, among other applications, to configure an ldap_server. Unfortunately, due to a string handling error in the implementation, the LDAP server address is not configured correctly in EXAConf, and attempting to use the LDAP server will not work.

Workaround

None, other than configuring the LDAP server as part of db_create already or editing EXAConf manually.

File EXAConf should be edited only under supervision of Exasol Support.

Fix

db_configure can be used to correctly configure one or more LDAP servers.
