Description
Enter the Base Distinguished Name (DN) to identify the root node of this Directory
Service.
For example, for MyCompany, the Base DN could be:
dc="MyCompany", dc="com"
Enter the Domain Name of this Directory Service. This Domain Name is used to create
the right credentials, along with the Admin User Name. For example, you would enter
DomainName\AdminUserName
Note • To upgrade from AMS 2.5, enter the same Domain Name that was used in AMS 2.5.
AdminStudio Enterprise Server will read this Domain Name and then try to authenticate the User
using this Directory Service. For single sign-on to work on an upgrade scenario from 2.5 to 4.0,
administrators have to configure at least one Directory Service.
Select Yes if this Directory Service is configured to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
Select No if you do not want to permit anonymous connections.
If you select Yes to permit anonymous connections, AdminStudio Enterprise Server
may not be able to authenticate Directory Service users and may not be able to add
Directory Service users/groups into AdminStudio Enterprise Server.
Enter the Distinguished Name of a user who has permission to retrieve users/groups
information and authenticate any user against this Directory Service. Enter the
Distinguished Name in the format of:
