KB424161: New registry key "EnableLDAPLock" in MicroStrategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 Hotfix 3


Justin Parks

Principal Product Specialist • MicroStrategy


This knowledge base article describes the availability of a new registry key, "EnableLDAPLock" in MicroStrategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 Hotfix 3 and newer releases.

Starting with the release of Strategy 10.4 Hotfix 3, a new registry key is now available. The key "EnableLDAPLock" will allow users to revert the current 10.x lock behavior in the backend during LDAP authentication to what existed in pre-10.x release.
However, this approach should only be used if the fix detailed in the following knowledge base article does not alleviate stability issues: KB276747: Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.x may shutdown unexpectedly when using LDAP authentication on Linux Operating Systems
Additionally, this change should only be made if absolutely necessary, as reverting to the pre-10.x behavior can lead to some degradation in performance when dealing with large amounts of LDAP authentication requests over a short time period.

How to Enable the Registry Key


At the moment, this key has only been used on Linux environments running older versions of OpenLDAP as the connectivity library.
To add the key, create the following  in MSIReg.reg:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Strategy\DSS Suite\AuthenticationServer]
"EnableLDAPLock"=dword:00000001

If this key doesn't exist, the default behavior is that this option will be disabled. This will cause the backend locks to continue to function the same as other 10.x releases.
