Setting options for Active Directory Security

By default, the Active Directory Security module attempts to connect to the default naming context of the current domain on which the user is logged on. You can add more connections to reach the default naming context of other domains with specified credentials. If you add a connection for the current domain, Security Explorer will use the new connection setting instead of the default connection.

 
* 
NOTE: Security Explorer only supports domains that have a trusted relationship with the current domain on which the user is logged on.
To add more connections
1
Select Tools | Options.
2
Open the Active Directory tab.
3
Click Add.
4
Type the target domain DNS name or domain controller server name with or without the port number.
 
* 
NOTE: If no port number is specified, Security Explorer uses the default port number 389.
5
Set optional credentials.
 
* 
NOTE: If you do not specify alternate credentials, the credentials of the currently logged on user are used.
6
Click OK.
You can add more connections; or edit or delete selected connections. To remove all connections from the list, click Clear.
7
Click OK.
