3. Scroll to the LDAPauthentication section.
4. Click the Enable LDAPauthentication checkbox to enable LDAPauthentication (or uncheck to
disable).
5. Specify the server IPaddress and (optional) port for your LDAPserver(i.e. 192.168.1.101:389) in the
Server address[:port] field.
6. Use the Connection encryption drop-down to specify the type of encryption, if any used by your
LDAP server.

Description/Default port used
No Encryption No encryption is used to connect to the LDAP server. The default port is 389.
SSL SSL encryption is used to connect to the LDAP server. The default port is 636.
TLS/STARTTLS

used. The default port is 389.
7. Specify the fully qualified DN and password for LDAPbind in the BindDN and Bind password fields.
(The password masked as dots on the screen.) These fields are only needed if your LDAPserver does
not support anonymous binding.
8. In Base DN, specify the baseObject in which to search for entries. The system will search this object
and the whole subtree starting at the base DN.

userPrincipalName. The value of this attribute must be unique in the BaseDN.
