If a Bind Distinguished Name is provided, Power Center does not attempt an anonymous bind search.
– Bind Password (optional unless a Bind Distinguished Name is provided).
– Base Distinguished Name to Search (required). The Distinguished Name of the branch of the directory from
which searches start. For example:

following information:
– LDAP Server Port (required). Enter the port number for the LDAP server over SSL. The default port number
is 636.
– Search Filter (optional). Specify a valid LDAP search filter if you cannot uniquely identify the login user
within the chosen Base Distinguished Name. If a search filter is not provided, the filter defaults to
(objectClass=*) and searches all objects in the tree. The maximum length of this property is 1024
characters.
– Network Timeout (seconds). Controls how long OpenManage Power Center LDAP waits for an LDAP server
