Port
Bind DN and
Password
From Data Source, choose LDAP.
Complete the LDAP Server Connection fields as follows.
Description
The IP address or host name and port for your LDAP server.
The LDAP Server Port defaults to 389. If you are using an indexed
database, such as Microsoft Active Directory with a Global Catalog,
changing the LDAP Server Port to 3268 will significantly speed the
LDAP queries.
If your directory is not indexed, we recommend that you use an
Note
administrative connection, rather than an anonymous
connection, from the Application Gateway to the database.
Download performance improves when you use an
administrative connection.
The Administrator Bind DN and password for queries to your LDAP
directory. The AG binds to the LDAP server using the administrator
credentials and then searches for the user. After locating the user, the AG
unbinds the administrator credentials and rebinds with the user
credentials.
Example syntax for Bind DN:
"ou=administrator,dc=ace,dc=com"
"user@domain.name" (Active Directory User Principal Name, UPN)
"cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=ace,dc=com" (Active Directory)
For Active Directory, if you do not use the UPN for the Bind DN, the
group name (specified as "cn=groupname") is required. For other LDAP
directories, the group name either is not required or, if required, is
specified as "ou=groupname".
Note that most directories do not return useful information on
anonymous binds.
