The Search DN field enables you to define any user in the directory that the console switch uses to log in to the Directory Service. NOTE: HP recommends creating a user account specifically for LDAP queries instead of using the admin account. After the console switch is authenticated, the Directory Service grants it access to the directory to perform the user authentication queries, specified on the Query Parameters tab. The default values are cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=yourDomainName, and dc=com and should be modified for your network environment. For example, to define an administrator DN for test.view.com, enter cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=test, dc=view, dc=com. This is a required field unless the Directory Service has been configured to allow anonymous search, which is not in the default. NOTE: A comma must separate each Search DN value. The Search Password field is used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the Search DN field. The Search Base field enables you to define a starting point from which LDAP searches begin. The default values are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com and should be modified for your network environment. HP recommends that the Search Base field be set to the DN of the root of the LDAP Directory Service namespace. For example, to define a search base for test.com, enter dc=test, dc=com. NOTE: A comma must separate each Search Base value. The UID Mask field specifies the search criteria for User ID searches of LDAP servers. The format should be in the form =, where is the schema property name in the directory. The default value is sAMAccountName=%1, which is correct for use with Active Directory. This field is required for LDAP searches. Query Parameters tab NOTE: When the Use LDAP for Authentication Only checkbox is selected, all of the Query Parameters tab fields are deactivated.
