3. Within the Edit Security window, click the Add directory button.

4. In the Add Directory window, you will need to specify the following:

• Directory Name

• Directory Type

• Search Context

– Field 1: CN for Active Directory, UID for LDAP Directories

– Field 2: Organizational Unit in Distinguished Name format (i.e. OU=Admins,OU=Contoso)

– Field 3: Top Level Domain Name in Distinguished Name format (i.e. DC=contoso,DC=com)

• Click the Add directory server button to add your Domain Controller FQDN and Base-64 Public Key Certificate used

for Server Authentication.

• The Username and Password fields are to validate the Directory configuration. A Valid user account must exist in

the Search Context you configured. You must specify the Canonical Name value of the user account.

Note

Starting with HP OneView 1.01, Field 2 can contain up to 4 Search Contexts. Referred to as multiple Relative Distinguished

Names (RDNs), a'+' symbol is used to provide different search contexts. For instance, the following OU’s could contain

different Administrator accounts and groups:

 OU=admins,OU=Finance,DC=Contoso,DC=com

 OU=admins,OU=Sales,DC=Contoso,DC=com

 OU=admins,OU=HR,DC=Contoso,DC=com

 OU=admins,OU=Corp,DC=Contoso,DC=com

You can combine the above Search Contexts into a single value:

 OU=admins,OU=Finance,DC=Contoso,DC=com+OU=admins,OU=Sales,DC=Contoso,DC=com+OU=admins,OU=HR,

DC=Contoso,DC=com+OU=admins,OU=Corp,DC=Contoso,DC=com
