a. Type the username for an Active Directory account that has browse rights in the User
Name field. The login ID must be entered in case sensitive text if the Active Directory
server is set up to use Kerberos. When using Kerberos, the browse account cannot be
specified in the Full Pre-Windows 2000 Username form (domain\username). If the
username is in a sub-domain of the Active Directory domain (specified in step 3a), then
the username should be specified as <username>@<subdomain>.
b. Type the password for an Active Directory account that has browse rights in the
Password field.

7. In the User Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user accounts. This
will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several forms,
optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external authentication
service: on page 76 for an explanation of the valid forms.
8. In the Group Container field, specify the name of the container to search for user groups. This
will limit the search scope to that container. The name may be entered in several forms,
optionally including a sub-domain. See To add an Active Directory external authentication
service: on page 76 for an explanation of the valid forms.
9. Specify a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption mode:
•Click Do Not Use SSL to have authentication performed using unencrypted clear text
instead of SSL encryption. This method is the least secure.
•Click Use SSL in Trust All Mode to use SSL encryption for data transmission. All server
certificates will be trusted and automatically accepted by the DSView 3 software for
transmitting data. This SSL method provides medium security.
