Adding Active Directory Servers and Windows Domains
Before you can import user accounts, you must add a connection to an Active Directory server or Windows NT domain.
To add an Active Directory server:
1 In the Active Directory Servers and Windows Domains dialog, click Manage.
2 In the Manage Active Directory Servers and Windows Domains dialog, click Add LDAP.
3 In the Display Name box, type a name for the LDAP server. Vector HelpDesk uses this name to identify the server.
4 In the Host, Port, and Base DN boxes, enter the connection information for the LDAP server:
Host is the IP address of the LDAP server.
Port is the port the LDAP server is running on. By default, LDAP servers run on port 389. LDAP over SSL uses port 636 by default.
Base DN is the top level of the LDAP directory tree. For example, if your organization’s DNS domain name is mycompany.local, the Base DN is dc=mycompany,dc=local.
5 If you want to use anonymous authentication for the connection, select the Anonymous Bind check box.
Alternatively, clear the Anonymous Bind check box and enter the information for authenticating a user when connected to the server, where:
User DN is the user to authenticate For example: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mycompany,DC=local
Password is the user's password
6 In the LDAP Logon Name Field box, type the name of the LDAP property that stores the user account name. Vector HelpDesk uses this name to log on.
7 Click Test to test the connection.
