To add an Active Directory server
If you decide to import user profile information from one or multiple domains,
on the Configure Profile Import page, select the Custom source option in the
Source section. Next add the servers to the set of servers available to import user
profile information.
1. On the Manage Connections page, click New Connection.
2. In the Connection Settings section on the Add Connection page, type a
domain name in the Domain name box.
Note By default, a domain controller is automatically detected for you. To
select a controller, click Select a domain controller and type a domain controller
name in the Domain controller name text box for the Active Directory
server that you want to add.
3. To access this server by using a secured socket layer (SSL) secure connection,
select the Use SSL-secured connection check box.
4. To limit the amount of time spent attempting to access a server that is not
responding, type a value in the Time out box.
5. In the Search Settings section, type a name in the Search base text box. If
you do not enter anything in the Search base text box, SharePoint Portal
Server enters the appropriate information.
6. In the User filter section, you can add query clauses to further filter the user
profile data that you are importing.
7. The default value in the User filter text box is a specific Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) query. Specifying an LDAP query enables you to granularly
define the data that will be imported into the profile database.
8. In the Scope section, select how deeply in the Active Directory server to
search for user profiles to import. You can limit the scope by selecting One
level or search more deeply by clicking Subtree.
9. Type a value in the Page size box to limit the amount of data imported in each
user profile.
10. Type a value in the Page time out box to limit the amount of time spent
attempting to access a page that is not responding.
You can also edit the settings for existing servers or delete servers from the set
used when importing user profile information from the Manage Connections page.
