The Use Default User Directory radio button uses the default user directory associated with the domain. To use multiple Directory Server instances or to use a different instance, select the Set User Directory radio button and set the required information:

•The LDAP Host and Port field specifies the location of the user directory instance.

It is possible to configure multiple locations for the user directory for authentication and other directory functions; separate each location with a space. For example:

server.example.com:389 alt.example.com:389

NOTE:

If more than one location is given in the LDAP Host and Port field, the settings for the remaining fields will apply to all those instances.

•Check the Secure Connection box to use SSL to connect to the user directory. Only select this if the Directory Server is already configured to use SSL.

•Give the User Directory Subtree. For example: dc=example,dc=com

Every location listed in the LDAP Host and Port field must contain that subtree and the subtree must contain the user information.

•Optionally, enter the Bind DN and Bind Password for the user which connects to the user directory.

6.Click Save.
