Configuration of LDAP Directories to be Synchronized
URL Attribute
The url attribute is used to set the LDAP URL of the server to be queried. The attribute is structured in the following way:
<font inherit/Courier New,Courier,monospace;;inherit;;inherit><ldap>:<ldap-server>:<port>/<ldap_directory_to_be_queried></font>
The following table describes how to fill this schema with concrete values:
Schema Values | Description |
---|---|
ldap | The LDAP URL starts with a protocol prefix which is normally set to “ldap“. If you want to encrypt the synchronization process via SSL, use “ldaps“ instead. |
ldap-server | The fully qualified domain name of the LDAP server |
port | The TCP port the LDAP server is listening on. The standard TCP port for unencrypted LDAP communication is 389, whereas 636 is used for secure communication. |
ldap_directory_to_be_queried | The distinguished name of the directory to be queried, including the server’s base dn. |
