5.7 Setting up a configuration-only directory

If your directory's structure is too complex for MyID to read correctly, you may have to add a configuration-only directory to MyID using the Directory Management workflow. Set up a new directory with the same connection details as your existing directory, but set the BaseDN to the one where the configuration information is stored; this is typically CN=Configuration. This area of your directory may require different user authentication.

If your configuration information is not stored in CN=Configuration, you must create an LDAP attribute called ADSConfigPrefix and set it to the location of your configuration information.

Note: This directory is used to obtain configuration information only. In search screens, if you select the configuration-only directory for a user search, the result will not contain any users. Use the standard non-configuration directory for user searches.

In the MyID Operator Client, directories are displayed in alphabetical order; to ensure that the configuration-only directory does not appear as the default directory in the list, you can set the name to something like ZZZ AD Configuration.
