Register an LDAP server

Select Menu → Configuration → Registered Servers, then click New Server.

Select LDAP Server from the Server type menu, then specify a unique name and optional description and click Next.

Select an OpenLDAP or Active Directory server from the LDAP server type list.

Specify a domain name or a specific server name.

Use DNS-style domain names (such as internaldomain.com), or fully-qualified domain names or IP addresses for servers (such as server1.internaldomain.com or 192.168.75.101). OpenLDAP servers can only use server names. They cannot be specified by domain.

Specify whether to use the Global Catalog (not available for OpenLDAP servers).

Select it only if the registered domain is the parent of only local domains to avoid potential network traffic, which can impact performance.

If you don't use the Global Catalog, select whether to chase referrals.

Chasing referrals can generate non-local network traffic.

Choose whether to use SSL to communicate with this server.

If you are configuring an OpenLDAP server, enter the port.

Enter a user name and password for an admin account on the server.

Enter a Site name for the server, and click Test Connection to verify the connection, then click Save to complete the registration.
