Hi,
# how do I configure LDAP server?
1.Go to Admin server GUI -----> Click on Global Settings Tab ----> Configure Directory Service --->
LDAP Directory Server Configuration
Host Name: 10.10.2.204 (IP address of where your ldap server running)
Port     : 389 (port # of ldap server
Use Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL)
for connections?: Yes No (If your ldap server running on SSL click yes or select no)
Base DN     : o=web.com (organisation of ldap server)
Bind DN : cn=Directory Manager
Bind Password : password of Directory Manager
2. Click on Save Changes . Save and Apply and restart the admin server.
3. Now try to add user in iWS admin server page from
Users and Groups Tab.
# iws installation state I should create a Win NT user account, but this is preventing me.
Will the iws work ok without the user account?
Not necessarly, You can install & run iWS as administrator.
