LDAP Settings

Use this dialog box to configure a connection to the LDAP server.

- Host - the name or the IP address of the LDAP server to connect to.

- Port - the TCP port on which the LDAP server accepts connections. The default port is 389.

- Protocol version - the LDAP protocol version. Some servers are not fully compatible with the LDAP v.3 protocol and LDAP requests require certain adjustments for correct communication with such servers. Selecting Version 2 makes sure that the server requests are adjusted according to the LDAP v.2 protocol requirements.

- Base DN - the starting point for you to browse the directory tree. You must use the LDAP string representation for distinguished names (for example, cn=qa,o=SMARTLINE,c=US). Leave the Base DN field blank to start browsing from the root.

By pressing the Fetch button, you can get all the published naming contexts.

- User DN - the distinguished name (DN) of the directory user that allows connection to the directory. You must use the LDAP string representation for distinguished names (for example, cn=admin,o=SMARTLINE,c=US).

- Password - the user's password.
