8.In the Search DN field, set the distinguished name of the search base (i.e. the domain name where the search starts for the user name).

Consult the LDAP/S administrator about the appropriate entry for this.
10.On the LDAP server, set the access rights for each user (The following sections describe how to configure LDAP/S for use with the KVM switch).
