LDAP Lookup Settings dialog box

This dialog box specifies settings to look up the email address and other attributes for an authenticated user on an LDAP server.

Option	Description
Search Root	The root node where the component starts searching for user authentication information. The root includes distinguished name pairs separated by commas. The following example shows the format of a Search Root entry: `LDAP://ldapserver.domain.com:port/OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com` If you select Windows as the authentication type, you do not have to provide a value. If the field is blank, the component starts searching the root node of the directory tree by default.
Authentication	Select the authentication type and type the user credentials.
Directory Search	Specify values for searching entries in the address book directory services database: Match Username Against — LDAP object attribute for matching the user name of the authenticated user. Get Email Address From — LDAP object attribute that supplies the user email address.
Test Lookup	To test the search settings, type a user name and click Test.
