Enabling or Disabling LDAP/SOAP Connections

Use this procedure to:

• disable the SOAP connection to the Ud server if only the LDAP database is used for looking up subscribers/pools (and the SOAP publish/subscribe interface is not used).
• disable LDAP/SOAP connections before changing LDAP/SOAP connection-related information on the UDR > Configuration > Ud Client > Ud Remote Server Configuration page.
• enable LDAP/SOAP connections after changing LDAP/SOAP connection-related information on the UDR > Configuration > Ud Client > Ud Remote Server Configuration page.

(If needed, the SOAP interface can be completely disabled by unchecking the Ud SOAP Interface Enabled checkbox on the UDR > Configuration > Ud Client > Ud Client Options page.)

You can only perform this task when logged into the active primary NOAMP server. Note that you must have permission to edit this page. Permission groups are defined on the Main Menu > Administration > Access Control > Groups page.

1. Select UDR > Maintenance > Ud Client > Connection Status.
   The Ud Client Connection Status page appears.
2. Click to select the SOAP or LDAP header row (only) to be enabled/disabled.
   If the connection you clicked on is currently enabled, the Disable button is now enabled. If the connection you clicked on is currently disabled, the Enable button is now enabled.
3. Click the Enable/Disable button.
   If enablement/disablement succeeds, the changes are saved and you remain on the same page, and a successful update message appears.

When the SOAP interface is disabled, the SOAP connection status displays as Disabled, Connection Status displays no SOAP connections (only the header row), and the Disable and Enable buttons are not active for SOAP connections. When a SOAP and LDAP interface is disabled, the Admin State displays Disabled, Connection Status displays 0 SOAP and LDAP connections, and the Disable and Enable buttons are not active for either SOAP or LDAP connections.
