Section Name	Field Name	Description
Connection	Host	The name of the Active Directory server addc.xyzcorp.com.
Connection	Port	The port number on which the Active Directory server is listening (389).
Connection	Principal	The LDAP DN for the user that connects to Active Directory when retrieving information about LDAP users. For example: cn=jsmith,cn=users,dc=us,dc=xyzcorp,dc=com.
Connection	Credential/Confirm Credential	Password for the specified Principal.
Groups	Group Base DN	The LDAP query used to find groups in AD. Only groups defined under this path will be visible to WebLogic. (CN=Builtin,DC=xyzcorp,DC=com).
Users	User Base DN	The LDAP query used to find users in AD. CN=Users,DC=xyzcorp,DC=com
Users	User Name Attribute	Attribute used to specify user name in AD. Default value is cn. Do not change this value unless you know your Active Directory is configured to use a different attribute for user name.
Users	All Users Filter	LDAP search filter. Click More Info...for details.
Users	User From Name Filter	LDAP search filter. Blank by default in AD. Click More Info... for details.
Users	User Object class	The name of the user.
Users	Use Retrieved User Name as Principal	Specifies whether or not the user name retrieved from the LDAP server should be used as the Principal in the Subject. Click More Info... for details. Oracle recommends that you select this check box as it helps to enforce consistent case usage. For example, if your LDAP user name is JSmith, but you logged in as jsmith (lower case) the Principal is still JSmith (mixed case). This means that any application role memberships granted directly to users, instead of indirectly through groups, are consistently applied at authentication time.
