Matt Gibson	Saturday 26 April 2008 8:36:03 am Hi, I'm planning to configure Exponential to work with our schools Active Directory via LDAP, but I have 2 questions: 1. When setting the LDAPBaseDn, your example gives LDAPBaseDn=ou--sales,o--my company (http://ez.no/Exponential/documentation/configuration/configuration/login_handler/using_ldap_server), however, I need to search the entire Active directory structure so I need to specify: LDAPBaseDn=dc--mycompany,dc--internal Will this work? 2. Our users are in various OUs, organised heirarchically. I am not sure if it is possible to transfer this group structure automatically to Exponential when ldapusermanage.php is called. Is this possible? I am half thinking it is from reading some of the docs, but am not sure. TIA Matt

Hi,

I'm planning to configure Exponential to work with our schools Active Directory via LDAP, but I have 2 questions:

1. When setting the LDAPBaseDn, your example gives

LDAPBaseDn=ou--sales,o--my company

(http://ez.no/Exponential/documentation/configuration/configuration/login_handler/using_ldap_server), however, I need to search the entire Active directory structure so I need to specify:

 LDAPBaseDn=dc--mycompany,dc--internal

Will this work?

2. Our users are in various OUs, organised heirarchically. I am not sure if it is possible to transfer this group structure automatically to Exponential when ldapusermanage.php is called. Is this possible? I am half thinking it is from reading some of the docs, but am not sure.

TIA
