Active Directory LDAP directory Settings
VTGO-PC supports connection to the Active Directory LDAP server. To gain access to Active
Directory, enter the specified directory name in second LDAP directory text box. After entering
the display name, enter the host IP address and port. Your Windows system administrator can
provide this information. (Note that the default port for LDAP is 389.) The rest of the settings
depend on how your Active Directory is configured.
First, the user’s properties (in Active Directory Users and Computers) must have the First Name,
Last Name, and Telephone number entered in the General tab section. If all three are not filled
in, VTGO-PC will not display the entry.
If your Active Directory allows anonymous logons (set by the system administrator), then under
the User DN field, you can enter “cn=Directory Manager”, and leave the password field blank. If
you must be an authorized user, then you must enter a credential that identifies a valid user in
the User DN field, and that user’s password in the password field. This credential is the fully
qualified domain name of the object, which can be found in Active Directory under the user’s
properties in the Object tab. The name is the display name. In Active Directory, the fully qualified
name appears as domain.com/users/name.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All settings used in Active Directory are “CASE SENSITIVE”.
