LDAP Service Properties Dialog Box Settings

Field Explanation
Server Address Specifies IP address of the LDAP server.
Server Port Specifies the communications port number on the LDAP server. The default is 389.
Search Base DN Specifies the search base distinguished name (DN) for a container that is used when finding a user object for a specified user. For example, when using NXT 4 with the Netscape server, the DN might be o=rocketsoftware.com.
Search Filter Pattern Specifies the LDAP search filter used for finding a user object for a specified user ID. For example, when using NXT 4 with the Netscape server, the filter might be
