Bit of a newbie question, but trying to setup the LDAP feature for IIQ but unable to. Correctly have the LDAP server, Base search and Bind entry entered. But failing to connect to the LDAP server, i would of thought you'd need a username and not just a password after entering the Base and Bind entries?
Should my Bind entry be pointing to a user account?
If your LDAP requires a username and password to attempt authentication ( double bind ) you will need to enter that information in the bind dn 'this is the fully qualified user dn for accessing the LDAP' and password for that dn.
If your LDAP is a simple bind then no bind-dn and no password are necessary. Authentication is performed by sending the user and password from the login screen to attempt a LDAP login directly.
