LDAP_Authentication Considerations

When using LDAP_Authentication, the default searching behavior can be overridden by entering attribute=%UserId% in the Search Attribute edit box on the Directory Setup page. When you insert this syntax, the system constructs the DN of the user by concatenating the search attribute plus the entered user name with the search base.

For example, given the setup depicted in the following example, if the user entered Sschumacher in the User Name edit box of the signon page, the DN would be:

uid=Sschumacher,ou=Inkoop,o=ccb.com

This constructed DN would be used for the bind attempt rather than searching the directory with the search filter of:

uid=Sschumacher
