Authentication Settings dialog appears.
2. Select the LDAP radio button to activate remote LDAP/LDAPS server
authentication.

4. IP Address / Hostname - Type the IP address or hostname of your
LDAP/LDAPS authentication server.
Important: Without the SSL encryption enabled, you can type either
the domain name or IP address in this field, but you must type the fully
qualified domain name if the SSL encryption is enabled.
5. Type of external LDAP/LDAPS server. Choose from among the
options available:

the Dominion PX to communicate securely with the LDAP/LDAPS
server.

or specify another port.
