Reference

Table 6-1 Elements for the Authentication Mode (continued)

Element		Description
Last Configured IdP		While it names an IdP explicitly, this value does not necessarily identify the IdP in current use.
		Instead, this value describes only your most recent attempt to import configuration metadata
		from an IdP, without regard for whether the attempt failed or succeeded.
		This element is visible only in federation mode. It becomes populated for the first time after
		you attempt at least once to import IdP metadata.
		Tip	Compare this value to the “Last Successfully Configured IdP” value. When they differ, you know that
			your latest such attempt actually failed.
(SP Configuration File)		Provides the means to export configuration metadata from DMM. Click Export to begin
Export		browsing for a locally mounted drive and folder where you can save the exported config file.
		Later, you will import this file into your IdP.
		This element is visible only in federation mode.
Enable Authentication		Helps you to test whether your federation mode settings are correct and will allow SSO for your
Test		ordinary users.
		Check this check box to expose UI elements that are otherwise hidden. Clear this check box to
		hide such elements.
Test Username		Enter a username that your IdP already knows. Do not use the “superuser” username. This
		element is visible only while the Enable Authentication Test check box is checked.
Test User Password		Enter the password that corresponds to the test username. This element is visible only while
		the Enable Authentication Test check box is checked.
LDAP Configuration Area
Anonymous		Enables or disables an anonymous connection between your DMM appliance and your
		Active Directory server.
		• An anonymous connection is suitable when you want to see or use public information on
			the Active Directory server.
		• In contrast, if you want to see or use privileged information on your Active Directory
			server, the server will require you to enter login credentials to prove that you have
			sufficient access rights.
		In the latter case, your Active Directory server will reject any attempt to log in anonymously.
		This check box is available to you only when you choose LDAP mode or federation mode.
Host		Enter the routable IP address or DNS-resolvable hostname for the Active Directory server. This
		field is available to you only when you choose LDAP mode or federation mode.
Port		Enter the TCP port number that your Active Directory server uses for communications. This
		field is available to you only after you choose LDAP mode or federation mode.
		The Active Directory port number by default is:
		• 389 for LDAP communications.
		• 636 for LDAPS (Secure LDAP, or LDAP over SSL) and SSO communications.
Administrator DN		Enter the distinguished name of the Active Directory server administrator.
		This field is available to you only after you choose LDAP mode or federation mode and
		uncheck the Anonymous check box.
		Tip	See administrator DN, page 6-3.
