Table 46 LDAP Configuration fields (continued)

Field	Description
Enable User Preferences	Enables or disables storage of user preferences in an
	external LDAP/Active Directory database.
	If selected, the storage and retrieval of user preferences is
	enabled. When the client logs out from a portal session, the
	Nortel SNAS 4050 saves any user preferences
	accumulated during the session in the isdUserPrefs
	attribute. The next time the client successfully logs on
	through the portal, the Nortel SNAS 4050 retrieves the
	LDAP attribute from the LDAP database.
	If cleared, the storage and retrieval of user preferences is
	disabled.
	To support storage and retrieval of user preferences, you
	must extend the LDAP server schema with one new
	ObjectClass and one new Attribute. For more information,
	see Appendix E, “Adding User Preferences attribute to
	Active Directory,” on page 883,.
Cut Domain From User	Specifies whether the domain is cut from user names.
Name	Default is disabled.
LDAP Server Timeout	Sets the timeout interval for a connection request to an
	LDAP server. At the end of the timeout period, if no
	connection has been established, authentication will fail.
	Accepted value is an integer that indicates the time interval
	in seconds (s), minutes (m), or hours (h). If you do not
	specify a measurement unit, seconds is assumed. The
	range is 1–10000 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Expired Password Group	Specifies the group in which clients with expired passwords
	will be placed.
Check Expired Account	Specifies whether the system will perform a
	password-expired check.
	If selected, then the system performs a password-expired
	check against Active Directory when the client logs on.
	If cleared, then the system does not perform a
	password-expired check against Active Directory when the
	client logs on.
