As a rough guide you can find the domain by right clicking ‘My Computer’ and going
in to the Properties. Under the ‘Computer Name’ tab it will say ‘Domain’ as below.
The basic rule for the Search Base is if the customer has a separate container of
employee e-mail addresses that are outside of the root of the domain this must also
be specified. If they do not, you only need to input the root.
For example, the customer has a container called Sales, and his domain is
mydomain.co.uk. The search base would be: ou=Sales,dc=mydomain,dc=co,dc=uk
Without the Sales container, it would be dc=mydomain,dc=co,dc=uk(Searches entire
domain)

10) Press the ‘FWD’ button to progress to the next screen
11) These next settings are very much dependent on the customer’s server and how
it has been set up. For example, the Hotline in Basildon runs on a different network
to the LDAP server. On our machines, we have to set the ‘General Settings’ to
‘Simple’ but on the next screen we have to force the domain within the User Name.
On other machines in the building that are on the same network as the server,
‘General Settings’ are set to GSS-SPNEG0 and the domain does not need to forced.
