You may find an LDAP browser useful to gather the information you need for your Crowd configuration. This page shows you how to create a connection to your LDAP directory when using Apache Directory Studio. You can then use the connection information gathered, to set up your LDAP directory in Crowd.

Step 1: Create a New Connection in Apache Directory Studio

1. Start up Apache Directory Studio.
2. Click the LDAP icon to create a new connection.

Step 2: Enter your Connection Information

1. Enter a name for your connection.

2. Enter the 'Network Parameter' information as follows:

   ホスト名	The domain name for your LDAP server. If the LDAP server is not on the same network as Crowd, you may need to use the FQDN or IP address of the LDAP server.
   ポート	For normal LDAP connectivity, use 389. For SSL connectivity, use 636.

3. Click the 'Check Network Parameter' button to ensure your connection is successful.
4. 'Next' をクリックします。

Step 3: Enter your Authentication Information

1. Choose the 'Authentication Method' from the dropdown list.
   Some LDAP servers allow anonymous access. If your LDAP server allows this, you can change the 'Authentication Method' dropdown from 'Simple Authentication' to 'Anonymous Authentication' and click 'Finish' to go straight to Step 4.

    

2. Enter the 'Authentication Parameter' information as follows:

   Bind DN or user	Enter the full DN of the account that will be used to connect to the LDAP directory. This account should have the ability to browse the entire LDAP directory tree.
   Bind password	Enter the password for the Bind DN account.

3. Click the 'Check Authentication' button to ensure this account can authenticate.
4. If this authentication is successful, click 'Finish'.

Step 4: See the Base DNs

If the configuration is successful, you should now have a list of the base DNs available under this LDAP directory's root DSE.
