Setting up an LDAP Connector

To add an LDAP connector:

1. Log into the webadmin interface.

2. Go to the "Clustering" context and select "Clustering Setup" from the list.

3. On the "LDAP Connectors" tab, click the "Add Connector" button.

The connector options should be entered based on the settings of your LDAP server. Below is a brief explanation of the special options:

"Use anonymous bind" - This option instruct your server not to use any credentials while performing the search actions in the server.

"Use Administrative DN" - This option instructs Axigen to authenticate, using the defined user, to the LDAP server before requesting information.

"Admin DN" - This sets the admin binding user information located in LDAP. For Axigen to be able to authenticate, it must be set to something similar to: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org.

"Search Base" - The contents of this field should be written in "ldapsearch" utility's syntax. Axigen will use the location specified here as the base location while requesting information. Should be set to something like: ou=users,dc=example,dc=org

"Search Filter" - This option helps Axigen filter out useless information. The filter should prevent Axigen from retrieving anything other than the account name of the user. Is generally set to: mail=%e

"Password Attribute" - This sets the field containing the user password. It is only required if LDAP authentication is used.

"Hostname attribute" - This sets the field used to store the routing information in LDAP. It is only required within routing / clustering setups.

4. To add the connector, complete the quick add form with the appropriate information and click the "Quick Add" button.

NOTE: To change the settings at a later time, you can edit the connector properties by clicking the "Edit" button next to it.
