 Address = this is the IP address of your LDAP server
 Port = usually 636
 Username = the Distinguished Name (DN) of a registered user. You may want to create
a user for this purpose
 Password = the password for the user name you are connecting as
 Secure Connection = select this setting for a secure connection
For Example:
Address: 100.133.2.44
Port: 636
Username: cn=Fred Bloggs,cn=Users,OU=Sales,dc=Example,dc=com
Password: password
Note: The Acano solution supports secure LDAP. By default the LDAP server runs on port
636 for secure communications and port 389 for insecure communications. The Acano
solution supports both but we recommend using 636. Note that you must select Secure
Connection (see above) for communications to be secure: using port 636 alone is not
enough.
3. The Import Settings control which users should be imported.
 Base Distinguished Name = the node in the LDAP tree from which to import users.
The following is a sensible choice for base DN to import users
cn=Users,dc=sales,dc=Example,dc=com
 Filter = a filter expression that must be satisfied by the attribute values in a user's LDAP
record. The syntax for the Filter field is described in rfc4515.
A rule for importing people into the main coSpace database might reasonably be 'import
anyone with an email address', and this is expressed by the following filter:
mail=*
For testing purposes you may want to import a named user and a group of test users
whose mail address starts with “test”; for example:
(|(mail=fred.bloggs*)(mail=test*))
If you wanted to import everyone apart from one named user, use this format:
(!(mail=fred.bloggs*))
To import users that belong to a specific group, you can filter on the memberOf
attribute. For example
memberOf=cn=apac,cn=Users,dc=Example,dc=com
This imports both groups and people that are members of the APAC group. To restrict to
people, use:
(&(memberOf=cn=apac,cn=Users,dc=Example,dc=com)(objectClass=pers
on))
