Purpose: Use the New Domain screen to complete the creation of a domain to use for LDAP authentication.

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

How to display this screen: Enter a domain at the Domains screen and click NEW.

Completing this screen:

• Optionally, flag the domain as the Default to have it default at the User Profile Configuration screen.

• Enter the LDAP connection string for Locate to use to verify the user at login. Your information technology staff can provide you with this information. Do not enclose the string in quotes.

• Click Save to save the domain; otherwise, click Cancel.

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

See the field descriptions below for more information.

Note:

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

• If the New Domain screen was already open in another tab when you clicked the edit icon, you advance to this screen with the previously-entered information displayed.
