Click Advanced to configure the port number and the search base of the
directory tree.
You should always configure this information. The Port number controls the
port that the directory server uses to accept queries from the client. The
default port is 389. Search Base is the root of the directory structure that
begins the query search.

Symantec pcAnywhere attempts to connect to the directory server and search
for the entry specified in the Name field. If multiple entries are found, users
must select the one that represents them. Once the entry is identified,
pcAnywhere stores its Distinguished Name in the registry for easy
identification, and labels the entry as Verified.
Common reasons for failed verification include being disconnected from the
network, having incorrect TCP/IP configuration settings, using an incorrect
user name or password, or not having user information configured on the
server.
When you set up a host connection to use directory services, pcAnywhere searches
the directory server for the specified common name when you launch the host
connection. If it finds a corresponding entry, it updates it with the connection
information and current status of the host.
As the status changes, the host updates its entry in the directory server so that
remote computers can see the current status. When the host is cancelled, it resets
the host user's entry.
Configure the directory server entries before beginning this procedure.
