   2. Select the Domain Controller Lookup method:
      • DNS: In the Method box, enter the domain name to query DNS for the domain controllers.

   2. To match the LDAP configuration on the server, enter the group base DN to search for.
   3. Enter the User attributes already configured in the LDAP system. It is recommended that this is unique within the selected Base DN. Else, configure a search filter to ensure that it is unique. If the user DN cannot be uniquely identified by the search combination of attribute and search filter, the login operation fails.

      NOTE: The user attributes should be configured in the LDAP system used to query before integrating on the directory services.

      NOTE: You need to enter the user attributes as cn or sAMAccountName for AD LDS configuration and UID for LDAP configuration
