  • Server port: 389 is the default value.
  • Proxy User User name to be used to query the LDAP, called "bind DN" in some environments. You must enter the full DN (domain name). In

If the Authentication server is an Active Directory

...

, the "Proxy user" must be composed like "NetBIOS Domain Name"\"User Name". It is important to notice that the format used to specify the domain name must be the NetBIOS one (short name like "MYCOMPANY") but not the FQDN (mycompany.com). Right values of Proxy users will look like "MYCOMPANY\Administrator", but AD will reject users like "mycompany.com\Administrator" or "Administrator@flexvdi.com".

  • Proxy Password: password to authenticate the "proxy user".
  • Realm: LDAP branch under which the information on the users of this flexVDI infrastructure is stored. In a common configuration of Active Directory, you must enter the Common Name "Users", followed by the components of the specific domain name as DC, separated by commas; for example "cn=Users,dc=companyname,DC=com"
  • RDN entry: RDN component used in the search associated with the user name entered in the flexVDI Client. Normally, "cn" or "uid" which result in searches of the form "cn=JohnDoe" or "uid=JohnDoe".
  • Desktop policy Attr: if we identify users connecting to flexVDI desktops, we are able to assign different "Terminal policies" to each of them. We can assign different Guests to each user, or to some of them. The Desktop Policy to be used for each user is stored in the directory server in their corresponding user entry. The attribute of the scheme used to store it, is configurable using this field. To simplify user management, flexVDI recommends using an attribute such as "description" that is easily visible and editable by common user directory data management tools.
