Add domain panel options to specify the domain name
Use this panel to specify the domain name and the search base to configure LDAP/AD based authentication.
Table: Add LDAP/AD panel options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Domain name | Enter a unique name to identify the LDAP-based authentication that you configure. You can enter up to 32 characters. |
| Default | Select this option if you want to use the default search base that the system has detected using the information that you have specified on the Add domain wizard panel. |
| Custom | Select this option to specify the search base other than the default search base. |
| For example, you can customize the search base as follows to authenticate the user (sampleuser) who belongs to the organization (ou=HR), which is an organization unit under ou=user | |
| The organization structure is as follows: | |
| ou=HR,ou=People,dc=arctera,dc=com | |
| \|-sampleuser | |
| ou=Engg,ou=People,dc=arctera,dc=com | |
| \|-Eng1 | |
| The default search base is ou=HR,ou=People,dc=arctera,dc=com | |
| To authenticate users under ou=HR and ou=Engg, set the custom search base to a level up: | |
| ou=People,dc=arctera,dc=com |
