<h2><a name="activedirectory">Working with Active Directory</a></h2>
<p>Microsoft's Active Directory is a broadly deployed directory system that supports the
LDAP protocol. You'll be prompted for several LDAP fields when connecting to Active Directory
servers, some of which are detailed below:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Base DN</b><br/><br/>
<p>The base DN describes where to load users and groups. If you're using a default
Active Directory setup, all user accounts and groups are located in the
"Users" folder under your domain. In LDAP form, that's <tt>cn=Users;dc=&lt;Your Domain&gt;</tt>.
To get more specific, say your domain is <tt>activedirectory.jivesoftware.com</tt>. In that case,
your base DN would be <tt>cn=Users;dc=activedirectory,dc=jivesoftware,dc=com</tt>. If
you've customized where users are stored, you'll just need to replicate that folder
structure using LDAP syntax.
</p>
</li>
<li><b>Administrator DN</b><br/><br/>
<p>By default, Active Directory does not allow anonymous LDAP connections. Therefore,
you'll need to enter the DN of a user that's allowed to connect to the server and read
all user and group data. Unless you've created a special user account for this
purpose, an easy choice is to use the built-in administrator account. By default,
the administrator DN is in the form <tt>cn=Administrator,dc=&lt;Your Domain&gt;</tt>.
Using our previous example,
<tt>cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=activedirectory,dc=jivesoftware,dc=com</tt>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
