| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Host | text | Defines 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 | Port Number | Defines the port over which the computer communicates with the server. |
| Enable TLS | true (default) or false |
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) | text | 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) | text | Defines the password the LDAP server requires for this user. |
| Enable Collection Pooling | 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 setting unless you know what you are doing. |
| Initial size | number | Defines the number of pooling connections. |
| Max Size | number | Defines the maximum number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently. |
| Pref Size | number | Defines the preferred number of connections to the LDAP server that the system supports concurrently. |
| Connection Timeout | time (in milliseconds) | 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. |
