Specify the Base Directory Node Details

Use the Base Directory Node wizard page to specify the root node from which directory browsing starts.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Base Directory Node field, enter the Distinguished Name (DN) of the root object for browsing the current directory.

    Note: Try to use the lowest possible Base DN in the directory hierarchy as possible to ensure that searches are more efficient. Your directory administrator can tell you the best value to use.

  2. Click Next to go to the Choose Schema Mapping page.
