Table 13. Domain Information fields
Field Description
Base DN The location of all Active Directory users in the directory server tree. This
field is autofilled with a sample format with variable names that you
replace with the domain information. Maximum number of characters
allowed = 1000. If your hostname has more than 3 parts, add additional
DC=domain statements to the beginning of the Base DN field.
Domain Name Defaults to the first part of the string entered in the Base DN field. In most
cases this is the domain name, but in some cases you must edit the
default.
Host Name/IP
Address
The host name or IP address of the Active Directory server.
Port The port used to access the Active Directory server. The field is autofilled
with the default port 389, or 636 if you are using SSL (Secure Socket
Layer).
NOTE: If you change the port to anything other than 389 or 636, clearing
or selecting the Use SSL check box will not change the port.
The Quality Management server must allow socket communication on this
port to be able to access the Active Directory server for user
authentication.

Active Directory) of a user with read access to the Active Directory
database. Maximum number of characters allowed = 1000.
User Password The user’s password.

Base
The node in the Active Directory directory under which the user resides.
Maximum number of characters allowed = 1000.
Use SSL Select this check box to use SSL for connection to Active Directory. The
check box is clear by default and indicates SSL is not enabled. Clearing or
selecting this check box changes the default port number in the Port field.
