User Directory URL

For LDAP and Active Directory, each provider section contains <user></user> sections which in turn contain <url> sections that you use to identify the location where users are stored in the directory information tree.

Configuration of the user URL (B) is relative to the specified provider URL (A). In other words, on the server identified by URL A, there is a directory B containing all the users who would need to log on to Analytic Services using credentials from this provider.

The configuration of A and B as shown above would work for the following LDAP scenario:

Between the <url></url> tags, replace ou=People with the information that indicates the branch in the directory server that contains user entries.

If you want the provider to search the whole directory specified by URL in the provider section, delete the entire <url></url> section that is in the <user> section. Do not leave the <url></url> tags empty, without a value.

If users on the LDAP or Active Directory provider are actually stored in an organizational-unit directory named People, the sample is correct as is:

<user>
  <url>ou=People</url> 
</user>
