1. 
Select Unit View>Appliance>Appliance Settings>User Accounts>LDAP>Search. The Appliance LDAP 
Search page appears. 
 
 
  NOTE:  The LDAP Search and Query parameters can only be configured if LDAP 
Authentication is enabled on the LDAP Overview ("Configuring LDAP" on page 50) page. 
 
2.  Configure the Search parameters: 
o  Search DN—Defines the administrator-level user that the target device uses to log into the 
directory service. Once the target device is authenticated, the directory service grants it access to 
the directory to perform the user authentication queries specified on the LDAP query page. The 
default values are cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=DomainName, and dc=com. Each search 
value must be separated by a comma. 
o  Search Password—Used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the Search DN 
field. 
o  Search Base—Defines a starting point from which all LDAP searches begin. The default values 
are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com. Each search value must be separated by a comma. For 
example, to define a search base for test.com, your values are dc=test, dc=com. 
o  UID Mask—Specifies the search criteria for user ID searches of LDAP target devices. The format is 
<name>=<%1>. The default value is sAMAccountName=%1, which corresponds to Active 
Directory.
