Attribute

Description

Connector

The directory connector to use when communicating with the directory server.

URL

The connection URL to use when connecting to the directory server, e.g.: ldap://localhost:389, or port 636 for SSL.

Secure SSL

Specifies whether the connection to the directory server is an SSL connection.

Use Node Referrals

Use the JNDI lookup java.naming.referral option. Generally needed for Active Directory servers configured without proper DNS, to prevent a 'javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s)' error.

Use Nested Groups

Enable or disable support for nested groups on the LDAP user directory.
(info) This feature is available in Crowd 1.4.4 and later.

Use Paged Results

Use the LDAP control extension for simple paging of search results. Retrieves chunks of data rather than all of the search results at once. This feature may be necessary when using Microsoft Active Directory if more than 999 results are returned for any given search.

Base DN

Enter the root distinguished name to use when running queries versus the directory server, e.g.: o=acmecorp,c=com.

User DN

Distinguished name of the user that Crowd will use when connecting to the directory server.

Password

The password that Crowd will use when connecting to the directory server.
