LDAP Attribute Mappings Reference

- Object Class—

- Search Base—
To ensure that the Active Directory search can find any user object in your domain, you must specify the root of the domain. For example, the search base string for a domain name of "example.com" would be the following: dc=example,dc=com
- Search Scope—
You can either search all subtrees or the first level only.
