LDAP Search parameters

On the LDAP Search page, you can configure the parameters used when searching for LDAP
directory service users.
Use the Search DN field to define an administrator-level user that the appliance uses to log into
the directory service. Once the appliance is authenticated, the directory service grants it access
to the directory to perform the user authentication queries specified on the LDAP Query page.
The default values are cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=yourDomainName and dc=com and
may be modified. For example, to define an administrator Distinguished Name (DN) for
test.view.com, type and . Each Search
cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=test, dc=view, dc=com
DN value must be separated by a comma.
The Search Password field is used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the
Search DN field.
Use the Search Base field to define a starting point from which LDAP searches begin. The
modifiable default values are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com. For example, to define a
search base for test.com, type . Each Search Base value must be separated by a
dc=test, dc=com
comma.
The UID Mask field specifies the search criteria for User ID searches of LDAP target devices.
The format should be in the form <name>=<%1>. The default value is sAMAccountName=%1,
which is correct for use with Active Directory. This field is required for LDAP searches.
