Note:
Using an Active Directory Server as the user repository is only
supported via LDAP.
The dialog for Active Directory Server (see the section Creating Authentication Configurations) asks for the following values:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Domain ID |
(As described in the section Specifying the Domain ID) |
| Host | The name of the machine on which the Active Directory server is running. |
| Port | The port on which the Active Directory server is running. Only needed if it is not the default value, which is 389. |
| Forest DN | The base bind distinguished name for the node under which all the domains reside. Example: if there are domains like: dc=HR,dc=abc,dc=com and dc=USA,dc=abc,dc=com and dc=EUR,dc=abc,dc=com, then this parameter would be "dc=abc,dc=com". |
| Expiration | The number of seconds that the user is cached in the server after successful authentication. Changes made to the user, e.g. deletion or password changes, do not take effect until this time has elapsed. |
