Overview

This page has additional attributes for the Active Directory Authentication provider.

  • Follow Referrals - Specifes that a search for a user or group within the Active Directory Authentication provider will follow referrals to other LDAP servers or branches within the LDAP directory. By default, this attribute is enabled.
  • Bind Anonymously On Referrals - By default, the Active Directory Authentication provider uses the same DN and password used to connect to the LDAP server when following referrals during a search. If you want to connect as an anonymous user, enable this attribute. Contact your LDAP system administrator for more information.
  • Results Time Limit - The maximum number of milliseconds for the LDAP server to wait for results before timing out. If this attribute is set to 0, there is not maximum time limit. The default is 0.
  • Connect Timeout - The maximum time in seconds to wait for the connection to the LDAP server to be established. If this attribute is set to 0, there is not a maximum time limit. The default is 0.
  • Parallel Connect Delay - The delay in seconds when making concurrent attempts to attempt to multiple LDAP servers. If this attribute is set to 0, connection attempts are serialized. An attempt is made to connect to the first server in the list. The next entry in the list is tried only if the attempt to connect to the current host fails. If this attribute is not set and an LDAP server is unavailable, an application may be blocked for a long time. If this attribute is greater than 0, another connection is started after the specified time.
