Configuring LDAP authentication servers

Use this procedure to configure LDAP authentication servers:

  1. Click Administration > Remote Servers > LDAP Authentication.
  2. Click Insert at the bottom of the table.
  3. Enter a Hostname. This is a user-defined name for the server. The hostname must be unique.
  4. Enter an Account Domain Name. This is the name of the LDAP server.
  5. Enter an Account Domain Short Name. This is a shorter version of the domain name, for example, WEBSITE.
  6. Enter the Port for the LDAP server on the remote machine.
  7. Enter the Base DN. This is the directory path of the user being authenticated.
  8. Enter the User Name for the user domain name.
  9. Enter the Password for the user domain.
  10. Enter the Account Filter Format. This is the user account search filter.
  11. Enter the Account Canonical Form. This is the format for the user name listing.
  12. Select whether or not to follow Referrals.
  13. Select whether or not to enable Bind Requires DN, which determines whether the LDAP required the user name in DN format.
  14. 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.

    Note:

    Once you have entered LDAP servers to the listing, you can order them using the Move Up and Move Down buttons on the LDAP Authentication screen. The server order in the listing determines the order that servers are tried against.
  15. When finished adding LDAP servers, click Test Server to validate the server connection. This button allows you to confirm the server settings (by entering the correct userid/password combination) without logging out.
