Login name:

Many LDAP servers are configured to provide the list of users

 

to anyone who asks. This is called Anonymous Bind. The

 

administrator should first select that option, then click on the

 

Test LDAP Login button to test it.

 

If Anonymous Bind does not work, the administrator will

 

need to provide a username and password to get LDAP to

 

return the list of users. Often this can be the login information

 

of an existing, regular user on the network. It probably will not

 

need to be a network administrator.

 

Examples of how to fill out this field:

 

1) Active Directory - In a Microsoft Windows environment

 

running Active Directory or Exchange 2000 or later, the login

 

name will commonly be of the form “domain\username” like:

 

sales\john

 

<password>

 

2) Exchange 5.5 - In a Microsoft Windows environment

 

authenticating against Exchange 5.5 or earlier, the login

 

name will commonly be of the form "CN=username" such as:

 

CN=john

 

<password>

 

3) Lotus Notes/Domino - When authenticating against a

 

Lotus LDAP server, the login name will commonly be of the

 

form "username" such as:

 

john

 

<password>

 

4) SunOne / iPlanet - When authenticating against a

 

SunOne or iPlanet LDAP server, the login name can either be

 

the exact string "CN=Directory Manager" or a user's X.400

 

style login (both examples below):

 

CN=Directory Manager

 

<password> (for the Directory Manager

 

account)

 

... or ...

 

UID=john,OU=people,O=example.com,O=internet

 

<password> (for John)

 

Use the Test LDAP Login button to try out various

 

combinations until you find one that succeeds.
