Setup guide

Description
Descriptive name for your LDAP server.
Host
The Host may be either the resolvable name of your LDAP server or its IP address. If you
use the host name rather than IP, the SAFARI Montage system must be able to resolve
the name. SAFARI Montage will look up the name in the DNS server(s) that you
configured upon install. In most cases, you will need to fully qualify the hostname by
appending its complete domain name, for example, ldap.myschool.edu rather than ldap.
You may use SAFARI Montage’s ‘Ping’ feature, found under the ‘Tools’ sub-menu, to
see if SAFARI Montage is able to resolve the hostname.
SSL
Activate the SSL checkbox if your LDAP server requires Secure Sockets Layer
connections.
Base DN
Enter your LDAP server’s Base Distinguished Name (DN) in this field. Examples of
valid Base DN’s are shown below. Note that most Novell eDirectory setups only require
an organization (as shown).
Base DN Examples
• Microsoft Active Directory - dc=domain, dc=com
• Apple Open Directory - dc=domain, dc=com
• Novell eDirectory - o=myorganization
