Connection Timeout
This field appears only for Active Directory. Specifies the Active Directory Service provider connection timeout in milliseconds. The default is 500 milliseconds. If the connection is across a WAN, consider increasing the value.
Return Name as DN
This field appears only for Active Directory. Specifies whether to return the user or group name in Distinguished Name (DN) format for Active Directory Service provider.
