Properties in this category are used to configure LDAP integration.
LDAP server host name
Description
Specifies the name or IP address of the LDAP server. Set the value to the machine name or IP address of the LDAP server. For example: machineName.companyDomain.com
If you are integrating with Windows Active Directory, use the server name instead of the DNS name.
Default value
Undefined
Availability
This property is used only when the Marketing Platform is configured to integrate with a Windows Active Directory or other LDAP server.
LDAP server port
Description
Specifies the port on which the LDAP server listens. Set the value to the appropriate port number. Typically, the port number is 389 (636 if SSL is used).
Default value
389
Availability

User search filter
Description
Specifies the filter to use to search for users. Valid values are any valid LDAP search filter (see RFC 2254). Note that you must XML-escape any XML characters in this value.
Typically, the value for the user login attribute is uid for LDAP servers and sAMAccountName for Windows Active Directory servers. You should verify this on your LDAP or Active Directory server. If your LDAP server is Windows Active Directory, you should change the default value of this property to use sAMAccountName rather than uid. For example:
(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=person))(sAMAccountName={0}))
Default value
(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=person))(uid={0}))
