Security Config

Note

This feature is only available in NCache Enterprise edition.

Every server node keeps security information for operations that require administrative privileges. Alachisoft.NCache.Security.dll at server node is required to provide node level security services to all users. security.ncconf allows the user to manage node level security.

NCache uses pure LDAP Service for the authentication of user. This config file specifies LDAP path for distributed directory information services over an IP network. The user should exist under given domain in LDAP. For more information, see Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

Note

You will find security.ncconf at %NCHOME%/config in Windows or opt\ncache\config in Linux.

security.ncconf file is explained below:

<cache-security enabled="True">
    <ldap host="yourprimarydomain" port="389"/>
    <ldap-secondary host="yoursecondarydomain" port="389"/>
    <administrators>
        <admin id="john_smith" dn="CN=John Smith,OU=admin,DC=yourdomain,DC=org"/>
        <admin id="david_watson" dn="CN=David Watson,OU=admin,DC=yourdomain,DC=org"/>
    </administrators>
