   Property	Description
   LDAP Initial Context Factory	The fully qualified name of the factory class that creates the initial context. The initial context is the starting point for JNDI naming operations.
   LDAP Provider URL	The URL of the LDAP server. The format of the URL is ldap://<host>:<port>, where <host> is the name of the computer hosting the LDAP server, and <port> is the port number on which the LDAP server is listening for requests.
   Open LDAP RootName	The name of the root node in the LDAP directory. For example, if the root node is dc=Sun,dc=com, the value for this property would be Sun.
   Open LDAP Version	The version of OpenLDAP you are running.
   Open LDAP Search Filter	A search filter used by the Worklist Manager to search for users. The Worklist Manager will only find those users described by the filter.  For example, to use an organization name as the search filter where all Worklist Managers are assigned to the Sun organization, the value for this property would be (o=Sun).
   Open LDAP Search DN	The DN of the root entry of the portion of the LDAP directory where the Worklist Manager will start the search for users.  For example, if users are all defined in an organizational unit named People, the value for this property would be similar to ou=People,dc=sun,dc=com.

   Open LDAP Attribute Manager	The name of the attribute that specifies reporting hierarchy in the LDAP directory. This is the attribute assigned to a user that specifies who they report to. You can use Manager, the predefine attribute for OpenLDAP, or you can create a custom attribute. The Worklist Manager uses this entry to create the list of users to whom a supervisor can reassign tasks, and to specify the supervisor when a task is escalated.
   Open LDAP Group	The name of the group attribute in the LDAP directory to which Worklist Manager users belong. Only enter a value for this property if you have defined a group to which all Worklist Manager users are assigned.
