Sun Java(TM) System Administration Server Online Help

> # User DS Tab of Administration Server Configuration

> Use this screen to specify the Directory Server that contains the user directory. The user directory contains the identities of your directory users, and it will be accessed to authenticate these users when they log on to any Sun Java System server.

> Use Default User Directory. Choose this option if you want to use the user directory associated with the domain. Its LDAP URL is displayed here. The default user directory is the one defined during installation of your server.

> Set User Directory. Choose this option if you want to use a user directory other than the default. The following options are only available when you select this option.

> LDAP Host and Port. Specify the fully qualified domain name and port number of the host containing the user directory. If you have more than one user directory, separate the host names with spaces, for example:

> east.example.com:389 eastreplica.siroe.com:398

> All hosts after the first one are considered failover servers and will only be contacted if the fist servers listed are unreachable.

> Note | If you specify multiple hosts in the LDAP Host and Port field, they must all be configured identically in order to use the same settings for the Secure Connection, User Directory Subtree, Bind DN, and Bind Password fields.

> Secure Connection. Select this checkbox if you specified the secure port of the user directory above. In order to use this option, both the Administration Server and all user directories listed must have SSL enabled.

> User Directory Subtree. Enter the base DN of the subtree containing user identities in the user directories listed above. This is the usually the root suffix containing user identities, for example dc=example,dc=com.

> Bind DN. Enter the distinguished name for a user who has access to the user directories listed above, for example uid=jdoe,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.

> Bind Password. Enter the password of the user in the previous field.
