Enter the administrator username and password used to connect to
the LDAP server to make queries. The credentials only need to provide

bullets. As user password requirements become more complex,
consider clearing this option so users can verify entered password
characters.

The root node of the LDAP server. To improve search performance, you
can specify a sub tree node to confine the search to a specific section
of the directory. Use a DN (Distinguished Name) search root format.
