Use the Add Directory Server Dialog Box
This table shows reference information for the Add Directory Server dialog box:
NOTE: The following information also applies to the Edit Directory Server dialog box.
Description Range Field
The LDAP server type. Two options are provided: LDAP and
Active Directory
. If you choose Active Directory, the
dialog box expands to include fields for the Domain Type and
Domain Name
.
LDAP,
Active Directory Server Type
The domain type. This field is visible only when Active
Directory
is specified for the Server Type.
Global Catalog,
Domain Controller Domain Type
The domain name of the LDAP server. This field is visible only
when Active Directory is specified for the Server Type. The
value is a text field. Any character is permitted. However:
• For openLDAP, the domain name should always be
NEOVIEWDIRECTORYSERVER
. Upon receiving a logon request,
the LDAP daemon uses the highest-priority server named
NEOVIEWDIRECTORYSERVER
to search for and authenticate the
target user.
• For Active Directory, the global catalog server, which the LDAP
daemon uses for initial search operations, must have the domain
name NEOVIEWDIRECTORYSERVER (HPDM enforces this
restriction when you specify Global Catalog as the domain type).
Other domain name values should match the domains in the
active directory.
