As you exit the Network Authentication Service wizard, you will return to the EIM Configuration wizard. Use the following information to complete the EIM Configuration wizard: | |
Specify user information that the wizard should use
when configuring the directory server. This is the connection user. You must
specify the port number, administrator distinguished name, and a password
for the administrator. Note: Specify the LDAP administrator's distinguished
name (DN) and password to ensure the wizard has enough authority to administer
the EIM domain and the objects in it.
