Examples of Active Directory Connection User Names

An Active Directory Connection User Name needs to be specified in two locations when setting up Active Directory authentication.

  • user-connectivity.properties

    user.connectivity_username=<specify name here>
  • server.xml

    connectionName="<specify name here>"

The name can be formatted in a variety of ways. Here are some examples, with the preferred methods listed first.

Using the Distinguished Name as listed in jexplorer:

  • user-connectivity.properties

    user.connectivity_username=CN=EphesoftUser,OU=EphesoftITGroup,DC=YourDomain,DC=com
  • server.xml

    connectionName="CN=EphesoftUser,OU=EphesoftITGroup,DC=YourDomain,DC=com"
If jexplorer lists the Distinguished Name with spaces, spaces are supported.
