Test Connection

Once you have configured LDAP Authentication settings, click Test Connection.
Configuration Manager will connect to your LDAP server and attempt to log in, to
verify the settings you entered.

LDAP Org Units

The LDAP Org Units section configures how Directory Sync synchronizes your
LDAP org hierarchy with your Google Apps org units. You may need to collect
information from your LDAP directory server before you can enter details in this
section.

Synchronizing org units is optional. If you set “Do not create or delete Google
Organizations, but move users between existing Organizations” in the Org Units
page, org units will not be synchronized from LDAP. You can still specify which
users go in org units in the LDAP User Sync rules. For more information, see
“User Search Rules” on page 84.

Authentication Type

The authentication method for your LDAP server

If your LDAP server allows anonymous connections
and you want to connect anonymously, select
Anonymous. Otherwise, select Simple.

Example: Simple

Authorized User

Enter the user who will connect to the server. This user
should have read and execute permissions for the
whole subtree.

If your LDAP directory server requires a domain for
login, include the domain for the user as well.

Example:

admin1

Password

Enter the password for the authorized user.

Example:

swordfishX23

Passwords are stored in an encrypted format.

Base DN

Enter the Base DN for the subtree to synchronize. Do
not include spaces between commas. If you don’t
know the Base DN, consult your LDAP administrator or
check an LDAP browser.

Example:

ou=test,ou=sales,ou=melbourne,dc=ad,dc=example,
dc=com
