8. Specify the fully qualified DN and password for LDAP bind in the
Bind DN
and
Bind password
fields.
(The password masked as dots on the screen.) These fields are only needed if your LDAP server does not
support anonymous binding.
9. In
Base DN
, specify the baseObject in which to search for entries. The system will search this object and
the whole subtree starting at the base DN.
10. By default the search attribute is
uid
, which is suitable for a unix environment. Specify a different value in
the
Search attribute
field, if needed. For Active Directory environments, specify
userPrincipalName
. The
value of this attribute must be unique in the Base DN.
11. In the

of to be logged in as the administrator. Users must have the
member

specified group to be granted Administrator access.
If left blank, LDAP is not supported for Administrators (but can still be used for Operators and Viewers).
12. In the
Operators (group DN)
field, specify the distinguished name of the group users must be part of to
be logged in as the operator. Users must have the
member
or
unqueMember
attribute for the specified
group to be granted Operator access.
If left blank, LDAP is not supported for Operators (but can still be used for Administrators and Viewers).
13. In the
Viewers (group DN)
field, specify the distinguished name of the group users must be part of to
be logged in as a viewer. Users must have the
member
or
unqueMember
attribute for the specified group
to be granted Viewer access.

14. Click
Apply
.
When a user of the LDAP server visits next visits the admin or viewer page for the system, the system prompts
for use the username and password. For ActiveDirectory servers, the user needs to enter his the fully qualified
username (i.e. username@domainname) in addition to his LDAP password.
Users are required to authenticate once to the system and one time per channel they view.
Therefore users see a prompt to log in to the system (the system name is shown) and a second
time to log in to the channel (the channel name is shown).
