x Possible problems are wrong IP/server name or the system does not have DNS running / cannot

resolve the IP address / server name.

x Once the Test Connection procedure indicates that the connection is good,

5. Select the type of directory server (either Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, or orhter).

6. Press [Generate Defaults] button.

x This should populate the Realm Name, Format, DN, Login Attribute, First Name Attribute, Last

Name Attribute, and Group Attribute fields with default values for that directory server type.

x If the directory type is MSAD, both the realm name and the DN should be populated. If the directory

type is eDirectory, the realm name will be blank. If you are attempting to configure a directory

server that is not MSAD or Novell eDirectory, the configuration will have to be done manually. You'll

need to get the correct LDAP property information from the owner of the directory server.

x If this is a non-MSAD, non-eDirectory server, or is a server with a non-default configuration, it is pos-

sible that you may need to change some properties manually. See below for a definition of all of the

properties that you can configure.

7. Enter a username and password of a user that resides on the directory server.

8. Press [Login].

x You will see login result information in the Login Results section on the bottom of the tab.

x This will indicate if the login was successful or not.

x Additionally, it will print out the First Name, Last Name, and any group memberships for the user.

You may get a warning if First Name, Last Name, or Group Memberships were not found.

x Getting this warning means 1 of two things:

x The LDAP properties are mis-configured (i.e. First Name Attribute, Last Name Attribute, and/or

Group Attribute)

x The user doesn't have a First Name, Last Name, or any Group Memberships configured on the

Enterprise directory server.

x If you get these warnings, you may want to talk with the owner of the directory server to make sure

you have everything set up correctly.

x If the test login succeeded and you are satisfied with the first name, last name, and group member-

ship information, then your Enterprise directory server is properly configured.

9. Press [Apply Configuration].

x This makes the configuration changes. Just like other tabs in the Administration component, press-

ing Restore Configuration will undo any changed made that have not yet been applied.

Manual Configuration

As mentioned before, if you are connecting to a directory server that is not MSAD or Novell eDirectory, or

the directory server you are connecting to has a custom configuration, you may need manually config-

ure some of the properties. Here are definitions of all of the LDAP configuration properties and what they

do.

x Format - This is either set to domain or dn. domain is the 'MSAD' way of doing LDAP authentication (i.e

<userId>@<realm name>). dn is the other way of doing LDAP authentication, which eDirectory, and
