In Microsoft Active Directory, the groups a user belongs to can be found by looking at a users
details under the MemberOf tab.
• Use Domain Name
Some servers require the domain name in combination with a username for performing
successful authentication. The domain name is the host name of the LDAP server, for
example myldapserver. The choices for this parameter are:
i. Do Not Use - This will not modify the username in any way. For example, testuser.
ii. Username Prefix - When authenticating, this will put \ in front of the
username. For example, myldapserver/testuser.
iii. Username Postfix - When authenticating, this will add @ after the
username. For example, testuser@myldapserver.
If the choice is other than Do Not Use, the Domain Name parameter option described below
should be specified.
Different LDAP servers could handle the domain name differently so the server's
requirements should be checked. Most versions of Windows Active Directory require the
Postfix option to be used.
When using the OpenLDAP server and with most non-Microsoft LDAP servers, this property
should be set to Do not use and the next property Combined User Name should be enabled.
• Combined User Name
When using the OpenLDAP server, the Use Domain Name property should be set to Do not
use and this property should be enabled. Other non-Microsoft LDAP servers will probably also
require that this option be enabled.
• Optional Attribute
If the Combined User Name property is enabled, it is also possible to use this property to
specify an optional text attribute to be sent to the server. For example, if this property is set
to:
ou=people
This is inserted between the name and the base objects. For example, the resulting attributes
might now become:
uid=someuser,ou=people,dc=somedomain,dc=com
• Routing Table
The cOS Core routing table where route lookup will be done to resolve the server's IP address
into a route. The default is the main routing table.
Database Settings
The Database Settings are as follows:
