Adding a destination database
Previous  Top  Next


To Add or edit a destination database you follow the same procedure as for adding or editing a directory server. You can not use the LDAP protocol for database feedback. You can choose only one table for each destination database. If you need more tables in a destination database for your database feedback, then you will have to add multiple destination databases with the same URL but a different table name.
