| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display Name | text |
Creates an object name for display purposes, which may differ from the actual object name.
|
| Status | read-only |
Reports the condition of the entity or process at last polling.
|
| Connection Host (LDAP) | URL or IP Address |
Defines the URL or IP address of the platform on which the Ldap Server is running. The location may be on the same computer
or elsewhere available on an intranet or the Internet.
|
| Connection Port (LDAP) | number |
Defines the port over which the computer communicates with the server.
|
| Enable Connection TLS (LDAP) | true or false (default)
|
Selects secure transmission and identity verification using the TLS protocol. Do not change this value unless you are confident
of what you are doing. Changing this value could open the system to hackers.
|
| Connection User (LDAP) | name |
Defines the LDAP server attributes for the system administrator.
uid=admin is an example of the distinguished name for this user. dc=com is the user parent class. |
| Connection Password (LDAP) | password |
Defines the password for the user specified in property
Connection User. When used, requires a valid password in the LDAP server. The system uses this password to connect to the server for authentication.
|
| Enable Connection Pooling (LDAP) | true (default) or false |
Enables (
true) and disables (false) the use of a connection pool. To speed processing, LDAP servers maintain a pool of connections. A request from the system
that uses an existing connection saves valuable processing time, which improves system performance. Do not change the default
(true = enabled) setting unless you know what you are doing.
|
| Initial Size (LDAP) | number (defaults to 0) |
Defines the number of pooling connections.
|
| Max Size | number (defaults to 10) |
Defines the maximum number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently.
|
| Pref Size | number (defaults to 0) |
Defines the preferred number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently.
|
| Connection Timeout (general) | number of milliseconds |
Determines how long a station attempts to connect to a server before the attempt fails. This time should not be too short
to cause false connection failures, and not so long as to cause excessive delays when a server is down.
|
| Search Scope | drop-down list |
Defines how much of the User Search Base to actually search.
|
| Polling Interval | plus or minus hours minutes and seconds |
Defines how frequently to poll the LDAP server.
