Set the authentication server and domain information.
[Use Active Directory]Select the check box when using Active Directory.
[Set Domain List:]Select whether the Active Directory information of the login destination is retrieved automatically or entered manually. To enter it manually, select [Set Manually] and add the domain of the login destination in [Active Directory Management...].
[Use access mode within sites]Select the check box if there are multiple Active Directory servers and you want to assign access priority to the Active Directory located in the same site as the machine. Change the settings for [Timing of Site Information Retrieval:] and [Site Access Range:] as necessary.
Even when [Only site to which device belongs] in [Site Access Range:] is set, the machine may access sites outside the site it belongs to when performing domain controller access during the startup process. However, access to domain controllers in the same site as the machine is prioritized. As an exception, if domain controllers in the same site cannot be accessed but domain controllers outside the site can be accessed, priority is given to accessing domain controllers outside the site.
[Number of Caches for Service Ticket:]Specify the number of service tickets that the machine can hold. A service ticket is an Active Directory function that acts as a record of a previous login, which reduces the amount of time it takes for the same user to log in next time.
[Use LDAP server]Select the check box when using an LDAP server.
[Period Before Timeout]Specify the time limit for attempting to connect to the authentication server and the time limit for waiting for a response. When [Save authentication information for login users] is enabled, if you cannot log in within the time limit specified here, login is attempted using the authentication information saved in the cache.
[Default Domain of Login Destination:]Specify the domain that has connection priority.
Manually specifying the Active Directory domain
1 | Select the check box for [Use Active Directory] and select [Set Manually] for [Set Domain List:]. |
2 | Click [Active Directory Management...] [OK]. |

[NetBIOS Name]Enter the NetBIOS domain name (Example: company). [Primary Host Name:] / [Secondary Host Name:]Enter the host name of the Active Directory server (Example: ad-server1). When using a secondary server, specify the name in [Secondary Host Name:]. [User Name:] / [Password:]Enter the user name and password to use for accessing and searching the Active Directory server. [Login Name:] / [Displayed As] / [E-Mail Address]Specify the data fields (attribute names) for the login name, display name, and e-mail address of each user account on the Active Directory server (Example: sAMAccountName, cn, mail). |

[Primary Address]Enter the IP address or host name of the LDAP server (Example: ldap.example.com). The loopback address (127.0.0.1) cannot be used. [Port:]Enter the port number used for communicating with the LDAP server. Use the same setting that is configured on the server. If you do not enter a number, it is automatically set to "636" when the check box is selected for [Use TLS], or it is set to "389" when the check box is cleared. [Secondary Address:] / [Port:]When using a secondary server in your environment, enter the IP address and the port number. [Comments]Enter a description or note as necessary. [Use TLS]Select the check box when using TLS encryption for communications with the LDAP server. [Use authentication information]Clear the check box to allow anonymous access to the LDAP server, only if the LDAP server is set to allow anonymous access. When using the user name and password for authentication, select the check box and enter values for [User Name:] and [Password:].  [Starting Point for Search:]Specify the location (level) to search for user information when LDAP server authentication is performed. |
4 | Specify how to set the attribute names and domain name.  [User Name (Keyboard Authentication):]Specify the LDAP data field (attribute name) for the user name on the LDAP server (Example: uid). [Login Name:] / [Display Name] / [E-Mail Address]Specify the LDAP data fields (attribute names) for the login name, display name, and e-mail address of each user account on the LDAP server (Example: uid, cn, mail). [Specify the domain name] / [Specify the attribute name for domain name acquisition]Select how to set the domain name of the login destination. To specify the domain name directly, select [Specify the domain name] and enter the domain name. To specify an LDAP data field (attribute name) from which to acquire the domain name on the LDAP server, select [Specify the attribute name for domain name acquisition] and enter the attribute name (Example: dc). |
