Select User From Directory dialog box

Options in this dialog box allow selection of Directory Services users.

You may search directory tree for all users and select FDN of the user whose credentials you want to use in the connection properties.

The component uses the user credentials (name and password) specified in the parent dialog (Connection tab or Alternate Logon dialog box) to connect to the Directory Server. If there is no user name provided then the component uses the current Windows user (workflow process administrator) credentials to connect to an Active Directory server or anonymous credentials to connect to an eDirectory server. The eDirectory by default allows obtaining the list of users to an anonymous user. The Directory Server type (Active Directory/ eDirectory) is determined automatically from the root (nameless) directory entry.

Option Description
Search base FDN Specify root of the subtree to search. The default value of this field is the value of the "rootDomainNamingContext" attribute in the case of Active Directory or the first domain entry (objectClass=domain) in the case of eDirectory.
Search filter Specify which objects the Directory Server considers as the users. You may choose one of two presets (for Active Directory or eDirectory server) or specify LDAP search filter manually.
  • Microsoft Active Directory users: this preset is chosen by default if the Active Directory has been detected. The search filter for the Active Directory users is "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))".
  • Novell eDirectory users: this preset is chosen by default if the eDirectory has been detected. The search filter for the eDirectory users is "objectClass=inetOrgPerson)".
  • Custom filter: enables the field where you may specify a custom search filter.
