Columns

Column Description
Name Reports the name of the station.
Type Reports the type of station.
Status Indicates the current state of the remote station.
Exts Provides access to a single extension that opens the view.
Connection Host Reports the URL to the LDAP server. The location may be on the same computer or elsewhere available on an intranet or the Internet.
Connection Port Reports the port over which the computer communicates with the server.
Tls Indicates if TLS secure communication is on (true) or off (false).
Connection User Reports 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 Displays the LDAP password used to connect to the server.
Enable Connection Pooling Enables and disables 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 Reports the number of pooling connections.
Max Size Reports the maximum number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently.
Pref Size Defines the preferred number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently.
Connection Pool Timeout Determines the length of time the station attempts to connect to the LDAP server before the connection fails.

The station will not fail over to the next LDAP server until the first connection attempt is unresponsive for the amount of time specified in the connection timeout. This time should be not too short to cause false connection failures, but not so long as to cause excessive delays when a server is down.

Search Scope Reports the User Search Base to actually search.
Polling interval Reports how frequently to poll the LDAP server.
