Table 46 LDAP Configuration fields (continued)
Field	Description
User Attribute	Refers to one of the following:
	1. the LDAP attribute that contains the user name used for
	authenticating a client in the domain.
	The default user attribute name is uid.
	Do not use the Bind ISD DN and Bind ISD Password
	fields.
	2. if the client’s portal logon name is different from the
	RDN (for example, when using LDAP for authentication
	towards Active Directory), the LDAP attribute that is
	used in combination with the client’s logon name to
	search the DIT.
	For example, a user record in Active Directory is
	defined as the following DN: cn=Bill Smith,
	ou=Users, dc=example, dc=com. The user
	record also contains the attribute
	sAMAccountName=bill. The user’s login name is
	bill. If the user attribute is defined as
	sAMAccountName, the user record for Bill Smith will
	be found.
	The Bind ISD DN and Bind ISD Password fields are
	required so that the Nortel SNAS 4050 can
	authenticate itself to the LDAP server, in order to
	search the DIT.
Bind ISD DN	Specifies an entry in the LDAP server used to authenticate
	the Nortel SNAS 4050 to the LDAP server, so that the
	LDAP DIT can be searched.
	The Bind ISD DN corresponds to an entry created in the
	Schema Admins account (for example, cn=ldap ldap,
	cn=Users, dc=example, dc=com).
	Required for the Search Base Entry and User Attribute
	method 2.
Bind ISD Password	Specifies the password used to authenticate the Nortel
	SNAS 4050 to the LDAP server. The Bind ISD Password is
	the password, configured in the Schema Admins account,
	for the entry referenced in Bind ISD DN.
	Required for the Search Base Entry and User Attribute
	method 2.
