LDAP Servers

LDAP Domain

Enter the LDAP domain used for authentication. The LDAP user name is formed using the user and the domain, for example if you enter mycompany.com in this field, then when user jsmith requires authentication, both values are concatenated to form the LDAP user name ‘jsmith@mycompany.com’.
