Installation and Configuration → Security Administration → Authentication Realms and Users → Creating LDAP Authentication Realms
If you create an LDAP type of authentication realm, you need to provide information about your LDAP installation:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Context Factory | Context factory class used. This may vary depending upon your Java implementation. The default for Sun Java implementations: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory. |
| LDAP URL | URL to the LDAP server beginning with ldap:// or ldaps://. Separate additional servers with spaces. |
| Use DN Pattern | User directory entry pattern; the name will be substituted in place of 0 in the pattern, such as cn={0},ou=employees,dc=yourcompany,dc=com. |
| User Search Base | Base directory used to execute group searches, such as ou=employees,dc=mydomain,dc=com. |
| User Search Filter | LDAP filter expression used when searching for user entries. The name will be substituted in place of 0 in the pattern, such as uid={0}. If this is not part of the DN pattern, wrap the value in parenthesis, such as ud=(0). |
| Search User Subtree | If the LDAP user names are case sensitive, check the box to treat different-case names as different users. |
| Search Connection DN | Directory name used to bind to LDAP for searches, such as cn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=com. If not specified, an anonymous connection will be made. Required if the LDAP server cannot be anonymously accessed. |
| Search Connection Password | Password used when connecting to LDAP to perform searches. |
| Name Attribute | Contains the user's name, as set in LDAP. |
