How do I specify an Active Directory Connection User Name? What is valid?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/p>\n

An Active Directory Connection User Name needs to be specified in two locations when setting up Active Directory authentication.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. user-connectivity.properties
    \nuser.connectivity_username={specify name here}<\/li>\n
  2. server.xml
    \nconnectionName=\u201d{specify name here}\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The name can be formatted in a variety of ways. Here are some examples, with the preferred methods listed first.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Using the Distinguished Name<\/strong> as listed in jexplorer<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. user-connectivity.properties
      \nuser.connectivity_username=CN=EphesoftUser,OU=EphesoftITGroup,DC=YourDomain,DC=com<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. server.xml
      \nconnectionName=\u201dCN=EphesoftUser,OU=EphesoftITGroup,DC=YourDomain,DC=com\u201d<\/em>Note: if jexplorer lists the Distinguished Name with spaces; spaces are supported<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Using the email<\/strong> or domain backslash convention<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. user-connectivity.properties
        \nuser.connectivity_username=EphesoftUser@YourDomain.com<\/em><\/li>\n
      2. server.xml
        \nconnectionName=\u201dEphesoftUser@YourDomain.com\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        or<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. user-connectivity.properties
          \nuser.connectivity_username=YourDomain\\EphesoftUser<\/em><\/li>\n
        2. server.xml
          \nconnectionName=\u201dYourDomain\\EphesoftUser\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
