Active Directory
Microsoft Active Directory
®
uses the LDAP protocol natively, and can
function as an LDAP server and authentication source for the Dominion
SX. See the following Microsoft URL for information about Active
Directory:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321051
If you choose LDAP authentication protocol, complete the LDAP fields as
follows:
 Default Port / User Defined Port - By default, LDAP uses port 389.
To use a different port, click User defined ports, and then enter a
different port number in the Single port field.
 Base DN, Base Search - This describes the name you want to bind
against the LDAP, and where in the database to begin searching for
the specified Base DN. An example Base DN value might be:
“cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=testradius,dc=com” and an example
Base Search value might be: “cn=Users,dc=raritan,dc=com”.
Consult your authentication server administrator for the appropriate
values to enter into these fields. In order to Authenticate to a remote
AD Server, the Dominion SX BaseDN must be set as follows:
"cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=raritan,dc=net".
Always use administrator or another role that has permissions to the
tree where the users are stored. Search fields must use, for
example, "cn=Users,dc=raritan,dc=net".
 Certificate File - Consult your authentication server administrator for
the appropriate values to type into this field on LDAP configuration
menu/page, in order to process LDAP authentication queries from
Dominion SX.
