Use this procedure to configure LDAP authentication servers:
- Select Administration > Remote Servers > LDAP Authentication.
- Click Insert at the bottom of the table.
- Enter a Hostname. This is a user-defined name for the server. The hostname must be unique.
- Enter an Account Domain Name. This is the name of the LDAP server.
- Enter an Account Domain Short Name. This is a shorter version of the domain name, for example, WEBSITE.
- Enter the Port for the LDAP server on the remote machine.
- Enter the Base DN. This is the directory path of the user being authenticated.
- Enter the User Name for the user domain name.
- Enter the Password for the user domain.
- Enter the Account Filter Format. This is the user account search filter.
- Enter the Account Canonical Form. This is the format for the user name listing.
- Select whether or not to follow Referrals.
- Select whether or not to enable Bind Requires DN, which determines whether the LDAP required the user name in DN format.
- Click OK to submit the information and return to the LDAP Authentication page, or click Apply to submit the information and continue entering additional data.
- When finished adding LDAP servers, use the Test Server button to validate the server connection. This button allows you to confirm the server settings (by entering the correct userid/password combination) without logging out.
