Connect Using LDAP

JXweb lets you connect remotely to any directory that supports LDAP.

After you connect to a directory you can view and update the directory data and structure.

To connect to a directory using LDAP

1. Do one of the following:
   • To connect to a directory for the first time in this session, start JXweb. The Connect page appears.
   • To connect to a directory while you are browsing another directory, click Disconnect from the menu bar. Your current connection is disconnected, and the Connect page appears.
2. Enter the following data in the Connect page:
   • Host

     Specifies the name of the computer on which the DSA resides.

   • Port

     Specifies the port number of the DSA.

   • Base DN

     (Optional) Specifies the base distinguished name of the DSA to which you want to connect (for example, o=DEMOCORP,c=au).

   • User DN

     (Optional) Specifies the DN of your user account. If you use this, you must also specify the password.

   • Password

     (Optional) Specifies the password of your user account. If you use this, you must also specify the user name.

   • Use SSL

     (Optional) Specifies an SSL connection between the directory and the web server.

   • Remember my connection settings

3. Click Connect.

   JXweb is now connected to the directory.
