Sample Active Directory Setup
In the following example, consider the following Active Directory schema. The bullets below indicate how to fill out the 'Security Provider' page for this schema.

• Root DN: The 'Root DN' (here, “dc=vm”) is automatically appended to all units within Style Intelligence and need not be included in any other entry.

• User Search Base/Group Search Base: To search all units below the 'Departments' unit, set 'User Search Base' and 'Group Search Base' to “ou=Departments”. (If you want to include only the 'Accounts' and 'Sales' units, set “ou=Accounts,ou=Departments;ou=Sales,ou=Departments”.)

• Role Search Base: To search the 'InetSoftRoles' unit, set 'Role Search Base' to “ou=InetSoftRoles,ou=Roles”.

• Administrator ID: The 'Administrator ID' in this case is “ou=James Brown,ou=Admin”. Any account with sufficient read permissions can be used (preferably a service account). It does not need to be an Active Directory domain administrator, and does not need to be in the user search base.

The 'Security Provider' page for these setting appears as follows:
