Registering the LDAP Server

Enter the necessary information.
  <Server Name>Enter a name for the LDAP server.
 <Server Address>Enter the IP address or host name of the LDAP server using alphanumeric characters (Example: "ldap.example.com").
 <Server Address> and DNS
To prevent errors, pay attention to the following when a destination search is carried out from the machine to the LDAP server.
When entering the IP address, check if the usable DNS server supports only forward lookup. When the DNS server supports forward lookup only, press <Do Not Use> or <Use> in <Authentication Information> in step 4. When selecting <Use (Security Auth.)>, confirm that the DNS server supports reverse lookup.
 <Position to Start Search>Specify where to start searching in the directory tree of the LDAP server.
For LDAPv3, you can skip the setting because the machine retrieves automatically the server’s setting. For LDAPv2, always specify the point.
 Entering the format of <Position to Start Search>
When you use Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 with Active Directory, Windows Server 2008 SP2 with Active Directory, Windows Server 2012 with Active Directory, Windows Server 2012 R2 with Active Directory, enter the domain name of the Active Directory in units of strings divided by a dot ".". Add "DC=" for each unit and separate them with commas ",".
Example: When the domain name is "john.example.com", enter "DC=john,DC=example,DC=com". When you use Lotus Notes Domino R7 or later, enter the directory tree node identification name (dn) like "cn=user1,ou=team1,ou=salesdept,o=canon".
 <Use TLS>To encode the communication to/from the LDAP server using TLS, press <On>.
 <Search Timeout>Specify in seconds how long the search can continue.
 <Max Addresses to Search>Specify how many destinations can be searched.
