LDAP port information is entered. By default, Unsecure LDAP connection is TCP 389, Secure LDAP connection is TCP 636. If a special port is used, it must be entered in this field.

The Secure option determines the use of LDAP/Secure LDAP.

Authentication (Username/Password)

When the Authentication option is selected, it is stated that a user account will be used for LDAP transactions. If the Authentication option is not selected, the user account specified for the IIS Application Pool is used for the operations specified below.

In the username field, the user account that will be connected to the Active Directory domain and has the privileges of unlocking the account, resetting the password, reading mobile phone information, and reading alternative username attribute information is entered. This user account is also preferred to be given Replicate Directory Changes authority at the domain root level. Thanks to this authority, password history checks become applicable in password reset operations.

Test buttons are used to perform LDAP connection testing.
