The LDAP Summary Screen
The LDAP Summary screen provides different information depending on the type of LDAP
configuration. When no LDAP configuration exists, parameters that can be set are displayed without
corresponding values.

used to extract the domain name from the candidate. The value
is an optional exclamation point ('!') followed by a character

more below.
The candidate domain name is searched for the presence of
the prefix and if found, the domain name starts after the first
occurrence of the prefix and stops before the first space or tab
following it or at the end of the candidate domain name.
If the prefix is not found, the behavior depends on the flag. If
the exclamation point was not used (there is no flag), the
candidate domain name becomes the domain name. If the flag
is present, the candidate domain name is rejected and there is
no domain name. As a last step, and as described for the
