Configure the server settings for Local Plus Domain (LDAP)

If you select Local Plus Domain (LDAP) as the security mode for your project, you also need to configure the server settings for that mode.

Before you begin this procedure, you need to have access to a properly configured, LDAP-compliant domain server such as Microsoft Active Directory for Windows or OpenLDAP for Linux. That server will provide the groups and users for your project. Note the host name or IP address of that server, and then make sure you have the necessary credentials (that is, user name and password) to sign in to it.

If you need help, contact the domain server administrator.

You are prompted to configure the server settings when you use the Security System Configuration Wizard to configure your project's security for the first time. You can also change the server settings later, in the Security System dialog box.

To configure the server settings:

1. In either the Security System Configuration Wizard or the Security System dialog box, click Server Settings.

   The LDAP Server Settings dialog box is displayed.

   

The dialog box has three tabs. At a minimum, you need to configure the settings in the LDAP Settings tab.
