- For the 'Bind DN' field, insert the user that will access and copy the data from the 'Active Directory'. Please make sure to follow the rules as described on the textbox below. (e.g. LDAPAdmin@nomitech.net)
- For 'Password', insert the password of the domain user to read the entries.
- On the Base DN field, insert the root node where the users are saved to search for them. Once more, follow the rules and example as described below on the textbox. (e.g. cn=Users,dc=nomitech,dc=net)
- On Synchronisation Interval, please select how often you want your CostOS user database to be updated with the entries of Active Directory.
