Server address.
Enter the DNS name or IP address
of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft Active Directory
Server is supported for 3.x and 2.x versions of the
Content Server.
Port.
Port 389 is the default port for most Domain
Controllers. Global Catalog Servers may use port
389 or 3268.
Base
DN. This is the search base which the Content
Server uses to search for user records. The Content
Server will search the object specified by the Base
DN (Distinguished Name) and any objects beneath it.
The Base DN is a unique name for this container. It
consists of OU, CN, and DN components.
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com OU=marketi
ng,OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
In the examples above, OU 'marketing' is
contained within the OU 'employees', so
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com will identify
all employees of the company including the
Marketing department, and OU=marketing,OU=empl
oyees,DC=company,DC=com will identify users from
the Marketing department only.

ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE

User
DN. This is the LDAP identifier of the account
in your domain which the Content Server will use to
identify the user who is trying to log in. This account
must have read membership privileges, that is,
privileges to retrieve users' 'memberOf' attributes
from Active Directory using LDAP. You can use an
existing account or create a new special account with
those privileges. This account does not need to be
inside the search tree specified in Base DN.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name
for this account. It consists of:
CN (Common Name) of the special account
OU (Organizational Unit)
DC (Domain Object Class)
User DN examples:
CN=user_account,OU=employee
s,DC=company,DC=com CN=user_account,OU=ma
rketing,DC=company,DC=com
Please note that DNs can have many more than four
parts.
Password. Enter the password for the account
identified above.
Confirm
Password. Enter the password again to
verify that it was entered correctly.
