Understanding an LDAP Configuration with EnterpriseOne Long User IDs

In an EnterpriseOne long user ID configuration, the USRSRCHATR should point to an LDAP attribute holding the long user ID. This LDAP attribute should be capable of holding up to 254 characters.

Some LDAP servers such as Microsoft Active Directory limit the distinguished name (also known as DN) of the user to 255 total characters. If you attempt a simple LDAP bind with more than 255 characters, you might experience authentication errors. Therefore, it is your responsibility to make sure long user IDs on these LDAP servers adheres to these limits. For more information about setting up long user IDs in EnterpriseOne, see Setting Up Long User IDs in EnterpriseOne.

This table, LDAP Configuration Settings for Long User IDs shows an example of LDAP configuration settings for long User IDs. Notice that the USRSRCHATR is pointing to LDAP attribute 'cn' while E1USRIDATR is pointing to LDAP attribute 'uid'. This is different from a non-long user ID configuration where both E1USRIDATR and USRSRCHATR point to same LDAP attribute.
