Directory configuration properties (User tab)

The User tab displays user related properties of the directory configuration.

User Base DN
The base DN for searching for users in the directory server.
User Search Filter
The search filter for users. It must be in the following formats.

(&(objectclass=user)(samAccountName={0})) where samAccountName is the attribute assigned as the User Short Name.

(&(objectClass=person)(cn={0}))

(&(objectClass=person)(cn={0})

(&(objectClass=person)(cn={0}))

(&(objectClass=person)(uid={0})

 

User Display Name
The display name for a user object generated by the authentication provider. The default property value is dependent on the authentication provider and is specified by the provider's configuration.
User Short Name
The directory service attribute that has been configured as the Logon Attribute.

CAUTION  Changing the attribute used to logon could have the unintended effect of preventing the Content Engine system user from being able to logon, thereby preventing Content Engine from being able to launch. If you change the User Search Filter or User Short Name attributes, you must edit the bootstrap file and change the value of com.filenet.gcd.Username so logon can continue. See Content Engine Bootstrap properties for more information.
