Edit Domain

Purpose: Use the Edit Domain screen to change the setting of the Default flag or the LDAP connection string for an existing domain. See the field descriptions below for more information.

For more information: See Domain Configuration for LDAP Authentication for background.

How to display this screen: Click the edit icon (edit_icon.png) for an existing domain at the Domains screen.

Note:             

         Only users with Domains authority can display this screen. See the Role Wizard for more information.

         If the Edit Domain screen was already open in another tab when you clicked the edit icon, you advance to this screen with the previously-selected domain displayed.

Warning: The screen displays a warning message if the domain does not use secure LDAP (LDAPS).

Fields at this screen

Fields

Description

Domain

The domain that you selected at the Domains screen. Display-only.

Default

If this check box is selected, this domain defaults at the User Profile Configuration screen when you set up a user for LDAP authentication. If a domain was previously flagged as the default, the flag for that domain is cleared when you select the flag for this domain. Optional. It is not necessary to flag a domain as the default.

LDAP Connection String

The connection string for Order Broker to use to verify the user at login. Typically provided by your information technology staff. Required.

Troubleshooting: Do not enclose the string in quotation marks. If the LDAP connection string is entered incorrectly, Order Broker writes a message such as the following in the error log when a user tries to log in for the domain:

ERROR LDAP Error javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot parse url: “ldap://domain/DC=domainDC=com?samAccountName?sub?objectClass=user" [Root exception is java.net.MalformedURLException: Not an LDAP URL: “ldap://domain/DC=domainDC=com?samAccountName?sub?objectClass=user"]
