For Windows Active Directory and LDAP, Symantec recommends that you limit
user names and domain names to 40 characters or less. (Windows and LDAP
limit user names and domain names to 79 ASCII characters or less. If you use
non-ASCII characters, the limit varies.)
To set up Symantec Private Domain (vx) authentication, add the user to the
