In the Port field, enter the default number if your directory server is using
a different port number than the default port number 389.
6
In the Base DN field, enter the distinguished name that will be the point
which directory lookups will occur from by default and will be the
location where all NetWare Web Manager's entries will be placed in your
directory tree.
An example of a base DN that you could enter here is
o= you_company_name, c=US
7
In the Bind DN field, enter the bind DN that NetWare Web Manager will
use to initially bind (or log in) to the directory server.
This bind DN requires only Read and Search access to the directory.
Because this DN and the associated password (if any) are easily
compromised, it is best to simply leave this field blank and then set up
your directory server to allow anonymous search access. If you do not
want to allow anonymous search access to your directory, then specify a
bind DN entry here that has only Read and Search access to your
directory.
IMPORTANT:
This bind DN is used only to initially search for the username you entered in
NetWare Web Manager authentication dialog box. Once the entry corresponding
to this username is located, NetWare Web Manager rebinds to the directory server
using the retrieved entry. Therefore, if the username you supplied when you first
logged in to NetWare Web Manager does not have access to the directory server,
you will not have any access to the directory server, regardless of the bind DN
information provided in this field.
8
(Optional) In the Bind Password field, enter the password for the bind DN
entry if you have entered a bind DN in the previous field.
9
Click Save Changes.
Using a Directory Service to Control User Access to Network Resources
Do not specify your directory server's admin username in this field.
