LDAP Configuration

After selecting the authentication method on the Authentication tab, the LDAP configuration settings
appear. The device uses LDAP to retrieve the e-mail address for the authenticated user. After the
user has provided valid credentials, the software uses this information to match an attribute in the
LDAP database. After the match is made and the user is identified in the database, the user's e-mail
address is retrieved by using another database attribute. The LDAP settings include the following
options.

4. Click Find Settings. The server settings appear in a dialog box. Click Yes to accept the settings.
5. Click Test on the Authentication tab to test the settings. In the Test User Authentication
dialog box, type in the network logon credentials of a user in order to test whether the user can
