LDAP User Mappings
You can click the [LDAP User Mappings] link to specify the attributes to search for
within the LDAP database. Make sure that any entries made in the [Imported Heading]
boxes are in LDAP nomenclature. For example, you would enter sn (surname) to
search for the user's last name, and givenName to search for the users first name.
Enter cn (Common Name) to search for the most commonly used name (given name
joined to surname) to identify specific users within the LDAP system.

LDAP Authentication
To set LDAP for authentication, click the [LDAP Authentication] link. For [Authentication
Method], choose either [Direct Authentication] or [Authentication of User Attributes].
[Direct Authentication] sets authentication with the LDAP server with the user name
and password entered by the user. [Authentication of User Attributes] sets
authentication with the LDAP server to the attributes listed on this dialog, such as
samAccountName. Unless you are very familiar with LDAP, do not add text strings to
the User Name.

LDAP Group Access
LDAP server user groups can be used to control access to certain areas of the
machine. For example, the LDAP server may contain a group of users called "Admin”.
You can configure the "Admin" group on the machine so that the members of that group
will have administrator access to the machine. When a user logs in to the machine with
their network authentication account, the machine performs an LDAP lookup to
determine if the user is a member of any groups. If the LDAP server confirms that the
user is a member of the "Admin" group, the user will have administrator access. In the
[System Administrator Access Group] box, enter the name of the group, defined at the
LDAP server, that you want to provide with System Administrator access to the
machine. Repeat the process for other LDAP group access boxes.

Custom Filters
For [E-mail Address Filter], in the box provided, type in the LDAP search string (filter)
that you wish to apply. The filter defines a series of conditions that the LDAP search
must fulfill in order to return the information you seek. The form of the typed search
string (filter) is LDAP objects placed inside parenthesis. For example, to find all users
that have an E-Mail attribute (mail enabled), type (objectClass=user) (mail=*). If you are
not familiar with LDAP search strings, use a web browser search to find examples.
