Note that this will apply any changes that have been made.

      • Connectivity / bind test

      • User authentication test

      1. In the User field, type a valid login name.

      3. Click Test.

    4. If you selected LDAP search, then:

      1. Enter an LDAP in Search filter, formatted as described by RFC 2254.
