For the appropriate settings for your environment, consult your LDAP server administrator.
Schema
Base search DN - Supplies the distinguished name of the base object which is the starting point for directory searches.
Search scope - Defines which objects in the LDAP directory are searched, relative to the base object. Search results can be limited only to objects directly beneath the base search object (one-level) or they can include any object beneath the base search object (subtree). The default is one-level.
Schema definition - Schema used by the appliance. This property lets administrators override the default search descriptor, attribute mappings, and object class mappings for users, groups, and netgroups. For more information, see LDAP Custom Mappings.
Security Settings
Authenticate As - Credentials used to authenticate the appliance to the LDAP server.
Enable SSL/TLS - Toggles TLS (Transport Layer Security, the descendant of SSL) to establish secure connections to the LDAP server. If authenticating as Self, this option is unavailable because Self uses Kerberos encryption.
Authentication method - Method used to authenticate the appliance to the LDAP server. You can only configure this setting if authenticating as Proxy.
LDAP Servers
Servers- List of LDAP servers to use. If only one server is specified, the appliance uses only that server and LDAP services are unavailable if that server fails. If multiple servers are specified, any functioning server can be used at any time without preference. If any server fails, another server in the list is used. LDAP services remain available unless all specified servers fail.
