User's Manual
b. In the User Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user
accounts. This will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered
in several forms, optionally including a sub-domain. Valid forms are explained below
by example.
Assume an Active Directory domain name of “sunrise.mycompany.com” with
users in subfolder “sun/myusers.” The User Container field may be entered as:
Example 1 (no sub-domain): “sun.myusers”
Example 2 (no sub-domain): “ou=myusers,ou=sun”
If users are contained in a sub-domain such as
“mktg.sunrise.mycompany.com”, valid forms are:
Example 1 (with sub-domain): “mktg.sunrise.mycompany.com/sun/myusers”
Example 2 (with sub-domain and no container specified):
“mktg.sunrise.mycompany.com/”
Example 3 (with sub-domain):
“ou=myusers,ou=sun,dc=mktg,dc=sunrise,dc=mycompany,dc=com”
c. In the Group Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user
groups. This will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in
several forms, optionally including a sub-domain. Valid forms are explained in step 5b
above.
d. In the Username Type menu, select the type of username. Each choice in the menu
contains an example.
A Full Windows 2000 username is specified as username@domain.
A Partial Windows 2000 username is specified as username.
A Full Pre-Windows 2000 username is specified as domain\username.
A Partial Pre-Windows 2000 username is specified as username.
This option may only be configured for new authentication servers; it cannot
be modified. Existing authentication servers are set to the Partial Windows
2000 Username type for compatibility.
e. Specify a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption mode:
• Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear
text instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure.
• Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All
server certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the Rack Power
