Login name: Many LDAP servers are configured to provide the list of users
to anyone who asks. This is called Anonymous Bind. The
administrator should first select that option, then click on the
Test LDAP Login button to test it.
If Anonymous Bind does not work, the administrator will
need to provide a username and password to get LDAP to
return the list of users. Often this can be the login information
of an existing, regular user on the network. It probably will not
need to be a network administrator.
Examples of how to fill out this field:
1) Active Directory - In a Microsoft Windows environment
running Active Directory or Exchange 2000 or later, the login
name will commonly be of the form “domain\username” like:
sales\john
<password>
2) Exchange 5.5 - In a Microsoft Windows environment
authenticating against Exchange 5.5 or earlier, the login
name will commonly be of the form "CN=username" such as:
CN=john
<password>
3) Lotus Notes/Domino - When authenticating against a
Lotus LDAP server, the login name will commonly be of the
form "username" such as:
john
<password>
4) SunOne / iPlanet - When authenticating against a
SunOne or iPlanet LDAP server, the login name can either be
the exact string "CN=Directory Manager" or a user's X.400
style login (both examples below):
CN=Directory Manager
<password> (for the Directory Manager
account)
... or ...
UID=john,OU=people,O=example.com,O=internet
<password> (for John)
Use the Test LDAP Login button to try out various
combinations until you find one that succeeds.
Password: Password for the account entered above
