The
Directory Service tab of the
Configure Server page allows you to enable directory service support for the server configuration.
- Enable directory service support
- Default value is
off. Uses the specified Microsoft Active Directory service to validate user passwords. For a user's password to be validated,
the
Validate with directory service option must also be selected on the
New User Properties
or
User Properties
dialog boxes and the
Distinguished name from Microsoft Active Directory service entered for the individual. Restart the server configuration to be sure that the
connection to the service can be made before setting up the users. The server log contains the connection information. For
example:
Connected to Active Directory Server: ldaps://host:port where host and port are the values you enter on this tab.
- Host
- Host name or IP address of the Microsoft Active Directory service. It is an alphanumeric value of up to 254 characters. Instead
of using a host name or IP address in the
Host text box, you can use a domain name. When you use a domain name,
StarTeam Server can contact any active copy of Active Directory anywhere in the domain so long as that copy uses the specified port. Some
companies run more than one copy of Active Directory in case one goes down.
- Port
- Default value is 389 (secure port). TLS or SSL port of the directory server. It's a numeric value.
- SSL or TLS
- Select either one of the secure options or leave nothing selected for unsecure.
