The LDAP logon syntax varies from system to system. This brief outline will show the specific format for each system.
Active Directory/Exchange 2000
For Active Directory you can use your windows 2000 account name found under the Account tab in user administration. In this case you do not have to format it with LDAP information (cn=, dc= etc). Below is an example:
administrator@DirWiz.com
Exchange 5.5
Exchange uses an NT domain authentication format. User SimpleSync in Microsoft NT domain DirWiz.
dc=DirWiz,cn=SimpleSync
Lotus Notes
Lotus Notes is a direct translation of the FULL user id. There is only one Organization field, all other structure fields are usually Organizational Unit fields. Examples:
| Lotus | LDAP |
|---|---|
| Eric Nichols | cn=Eric Nichols |
| Eric Nichols/DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,o=DirWiz |
| Eric Nichols/Products/DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,ou=Products,o=DirWiz |
| Eric Nichols/Development/Products/DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,ou=Development,ou=Products,o=DirWiz |
Netscape/iPlanet
Typically you should use the Directory Manager DN as the Logon ID:
cn=Directory Manager
NDS
Typically the NDS logon ID translates nicely to LDAP. There is only one Organization field, all other structure fields are usually Organizational Unit fields. Examples:
| NDS | LDAP |
|---|---|
| Eric Nichols | cn=Eric Nichols |
| Eric Nichols.DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,o=DirWiz |
| Eric Nichols.Products.DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,ou=Products,o=DirWiz |
| Eric Nichols./Development.Products.DirWiz | cn=Eric Nichols,ou=Development,ou=Products,o=DirWiz |
