YaST now shows a dialog in which to provide the necessary entries (see

Figure 21.23 on page 496). In ‘Base DN’, enter the base DN of your LDAP

server. In ‘Root DN’, enter the DN of the administrator in charge of the

server. If you check ‘Append Base DN’, only provide the cn of the admin-

istrator and the system will ﬁll in the rest automatically. Finally, enter the

root password for the server administrator and select the algorithm to use

for password encryption (‘crypt’, ‘smd5’, ‘ssha’, or ‘sha’). The dialog also

includes a ‘plain’ option to enable the use of plain text passwords, but en-

abling this is not recommended for security reasons. To conﬁrm your set-

tings and return to the previous dialog, select ‘OK’.
