where
• 192.168.10.1 is the IP address of the primary Domain Controller server running Active
Directory.
• 389 is the port on which Active Directory is running on the server.

secondary Domain Controller server, if available.
192.168.10.2
where 192.168.10.2 is the IP address of the secondary Domain Controller server running
Active Directory.
7. If you want the password to be saved in the management server database, change the value of
the tags to true, as shown in the following example:
true
Saving the passwords in the management server database lets a user still log into the
management server if the management server is changed back to local mode. This, however, is
not recommended as it defeats the purpose of externalizing a user's credentials.
The login-handler.xml file contains two sets of tags: one for Active
Directory and one for LDAP. Make sure you change the value of the tags
that are children of the tag.
8. If you want the user name to be case sensitive, change the value of the
tag to true, as shown in the following example:
true
If you change the value of to true, the management server
becomes case-sensitive to user names. The management server sees MyUserName and
myusername as different users.
IMPORTANT: AD servers are not case sensitive for user names so changing this tag to
“true” for AD authentication is not recommended.
The login-handler.xml file contains two sets of tags: one
for Active Directory and one for LDAP. Make sure you change the value of the
tags that are children of the tag.
9. Provide the Active Directory search base in which you want the management server to look up
AD/LDAP user attributes. Allow no spaces between commas and put in all components of fully
qualified domain name, for example, hds.usa.com would be DC=hds,DC=usa,DC=com.
The search base is used to specify the starting point for the search. It points to a distinguished
name of an entry in the directory hierarchy.
dc=MyCompanyName,dc=COM
10. Save the login-handler.xml file with your changes.
The following is an example of a modified login-handler.xml file for use with AD server
authentication. Underlined text is information that was modified:
domain\primaryuser
