- In the Bind Username field, enter a username to be used for local authentication to the LDAP server. The username can contain up to 80 characters. If the username starts with “cn=” (in lowercase letters), the controller assumes that the username includes the entire LDAP database path and does not append the user base DN. This designation allows the authenticated bind user to be outside the user base DN.

- In the User Attribute field, enter the name of the attribute in the user record that contains the username. You can obtain this attribute from your directory server.
