LDAP Authentication

I am trying to authenticate using LDAP. I have added a person to the LDAP

schema under the root created during installation. In the Portal Server's

Admin, I am using the inherited values for the domain's LDAP configuration.

Needless to say, it isn't authenticating at all.

Do the base values for the LDAP attributes (LDAP server, DN for root

user/password, DN for start search etc) need to changed? How can I tell

what values are being used for these attributes?

THANKS!

Manage Domains>domainname>Authentication>LDAP.

If you go into there, you should be able to set up all those attributes.

Which do need to be set to your LDAP environment.
