How to Configure and Authenticate External Directories › Supported External Directories › Specify Directory Binding Information

Specify Directory Binding Information

Use the Directory Binding wizard page to specify whether you want to access the directory anonymously or with user credentials.

Follow these steps:

1. (Optional) Select the Use Anonymous Binding option. By default, this option is not selected (False).

   Note: If selected, you may have limited or no access to the directory.

2. Enter the user name and password in the appropriate fields.
3. (Optional) Select the Use Secure Protocol (LDAPS) option. If you select this option, the secure LDAPS protocol is used instead of LDAP. However, ensure that LDAPS is supported by the directory you are configuring.

   Note: This field appears only if you are configuring an Active Directory or LDAP directory.

4. Click Next to go to the Base Directory Node page.
