Adding a Directory Service

If LDAP Quickstart Manager will be used to access the directory service directly rather than via an intermediate LDIF file, you must add a directory service object to the Sources pane.

Click Configure > Directory Service/LDIF File. The Directory Services/LDIF dialog box opens.
Click Add. The Add Source dialog box opens.
Select the Directory Service option and click OK. The Directory Services Properties dialog box opens.
In the Directory Services Properties dialog box:
1. Enter a name in the Name field.
2. Enter the host name and port number in the Host and Port fields. The host name can be a computer name or an IP address. For Active Directory, you can use the domain name and locate a nearby instance of that directory service.
3. If the port is a secure (SSL) port, select the Use a secure port option.
4. Click Test Settings.
5. Select the correct version (2 or 3) of the protocol from the Protocol Version list. LDAP Quickstart Manager negotiates with the LDAP service using either the LDAPv2 or LDAPv3 protocol. Version 3 is supported by most directory services. Your system administrator can tell you which version to select. If you must figure this out by trial-and-error, select 3 first, as that is the preferred protocol.
6. In the Base DN field, do one of the following:
  - Enter the base distinguished name (DN).
  - Click Find. The DNs it finds appear in the list.
  If your host and port settings are incorrect or if the directory service is not running, you cannot use Find.
7. For now use one of the sample mappings: Test Mapping, Microsoft Active Directory, or OpenLDAP. Test Mapping might be the best initial choice. However, you will need to change to a different mapping and/or adjust your selected mapping before you actually import users.
8. Select the Anonymous Logon option if your directory service allows you to log on anonymously. This bypasses the Logon dialogs for the service.
9. Click OK.
  Note: From the Directory Services/LDIF Files dialog box, you can edit this object or delete it. For example, double-clicking the name opens its properties dialog so that you can review or edit those properties.
