This window is used to configure your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to work with<br />

an LDAP server. The top portion <strong>of</strong> the window displays a list <strong>of</strong> any<br />

current LDAP servers you have defined. To add a new server, click<br />

New. To modify an existing server, highlight the server and click<br />

Modify. See “About the LDAP Configuration: Domain Controller<br />

Configuration window” on page 9-18 for instructions on adding or<br />

modifying an LDAP server entry. To configure the general LDAP<br />

properties for all <strong>of</strong> the defined LDAP servers, follow the steps below.<br />

1. In the Maximum Retries field, specify the number <strong>of</strong> authentication<br />

attempts that will be made before a failure is issued. The default is 3.<br />

2. In the Timeout field, specify the number <strong>of</strong> seconds to wait for the<br />

server to respond. The default is 60 seconds.<br />

3. In the Login Prompt field, specify the prompt that you want to appear<br />

for the user name portion <strong>of</strong> the login process. The default is Username.<br />

4. In the Password Prompt field, specify the prompt that you want to<br />

appear for the password portion <strong>of</strong> the login process. The default is<br />
