Enable User Preferences Enables or disables storage of user preferences in an
external LDAP/Active Directory database.
If selected, the storage and retrieval of user preferences is
enabled. When the client logs out from a portal session, the
Nortel SNAS 4050 saves any user preferences
accumulated during the session in the isdUserPrefs
attribute. The next time the client successfully logs on
through the portal, the Nortel SNAS 4050 retrieves the
LDAP attribute from the LDAP database.
If cleared, the storage and retrieval of user preferences is
disabled.
To support storage and retrieval of user preferences, you
must extend the LDAP server schema with one new
ObjectClass and one new Attribute. For more information,
see Appendix E, “Adding User Preferences attribute to
Active Directory,” on page 883,.
Cut Domain From User
Name
Specifies whether the domain is cut from user names.
Default is disabled.
LDAP Server Timeout Sets the timeout interval for a connection request to an
LDAP server. At the end of the timeout period, if no
connection has been established, authentication will fail.
Accepted value is an integer that indicates the time interval
in seconds (
s), minutes (m), or hours (h). If you do not
specify a measurement unit, seconds is assumed. The
range is 1–10000 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Expired Password Group Specifies the group in which clients with expired passwords
will be placed.
Check Expired Account Specifies whether the system will perform a
password-expired check.
If selected, then the system performs a password-expired
check against Active Directory when the client logs on.
If cleared, then the system does not perform a
password-expired check against Active Directory when the
client logs on.
