OpenLDAP Server Configuration

Parameter

Description

Root DN for LDAP database

the domain of your domain controller that hosts the users.

 

The directory starts out completely empty, without even a root structure present. Initializing the directory with a root record and other supporting directory sub-structures (i.e., sub-directories) is required before you can add any user data.

Administration login DN

By default, Active Directory does not allow anonymous LDAP connections. Therefore, you'll need to enter the DN of a user that's allowed to connect to the server and read all user and group data. Unless you've created a special user account for this purpose, an easy choice is to use the built-in administrator account. By default, the administrator DN is in the form cn=Administrator,dc=<Your Domain>.

Administration password

Existing Administration password.

New administration password

New password if you would like to create a new password for OpenLDAP directory management.

Indexes to cache

Number of indexes to cache to improve performance tuning for user lookups.

Database entries to cache

Number of database entries to cache to improve performance tuning for user lookups.

Access control options

Setting which determines access control setting between SoftNAS and your LDAP server.

 

Maximum number of search results

Max. number of search results for user lookups.

Maximum time for searches

Max. amount of time for user lookup searches.
