LDAP Directory Connection

You can establish a connection to an LDAP directory so CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone can use it as a user store for authentication.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the User Directory tab.
2. Click Connect to LDAP in the User Directory List section.
3. Configure the settings in each section. Parameters marked by red dots are required.

   Note: Click Help for a description of fields, controls, and their respective requirements.

4. Click Failover/Load Balancing if you want to set up either of these features.
5. Click Test Connection to verify that the directory connection is valid.

   You can click View Contents to list the contents of the user directory.

   Note: The View Contents button is displayed only if the Search Root, Start User DN Lookup, End User DN Lookup, and Universal ID Attribute values are set

6. Click Save.

   If your settings are valid, you are redirected to the View User Directories dialog.

   The connection to the LDAP directory is configured.
