How the User Authentication Configuration page works.
- Take the LDAP Query, replace %s % in the query with the name under LDAP Username.
- Connect to LDAP using the distinguished name pointing to that user. If authentication fails (or user is not found), it will return "Invalid Credentials."
- On Upon success, it takes LDAP Group Distinguished Name, and reads the object.
- If it can not cannot find the object at all, it will output , you receive the message, "No Group exists under that Distinguished Name."
- If it finds the object but the Group object is not under a domain name, it will not be able to cannot read it, and returns the message, "Could not get members listing for Group Distinguished Name."
- If object is read, and the distinguished name in the object exists, the users are inserted into the local Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UIM database.
- If object is read, but it contains entries that do not link to a user, that particular user is skipped and not inserted into Uptime Infrastructure MonitorUIM.
