> # Referral Authentication Dialog

> Use this dialog to define the authentication that the Directory Server console will use to access each possible remote server defined in referrals. For example, you may use define the certificate DN to use when following a referral over a secure port. A remote server that appears in a referral URL but not in this table will be accessed using anonymous authentication.

> The information in this table is used solely by the Directory Server console when it follows referrals encountered in the directory tree. The information is not stored in the directory and is not preserved when you exit the console application.

> The table shows the hostname and port of a remote server and the DN that will be used for authentication to that server.

> Add. Click this button to display the Add Server dialog where you may enter the following information concerning a remote server:

> - Host. Enter the fully qualified hostname of the remote server. It should be the same hostname that appears in an LDAP URL of the referral list.

> - Port. Enter the LDAP port number for the given host.

> - Secure port. Select this checkbox when the given port is a secure LDAP port used for SSL connections.

> - Distinguished name. Enter the distinguished name (DN) that will be used to bind when following this referral.

> - Password. Enter the password for the distinguished name.

> The Console does not check the authentication information when you click OK in the Add Server dialog. However, you will not be able to close the Referral Authentication dialog if it contains an invalid hostname, port or bind DN.

> Edit. Select from the table a server and DN that you wish to modify, and click this button to display the Edit Server dialog. Modify any of the fields and click OK to edit that line of the table.

> Delete. Select from the table a server and DN that you wish to remove, and click this button.
