LDAP Server dialog box

When you are adding LDAP users or an LDAP group to Output Manager, you must specify the LDAP server that you will search. Use this dialog box to specify the LDAP server that contains the users or the group that you want to add. Once the users or group are added, permissions and quotas can be assigned as needed. You can access this dialog box from the LDAP User dialog box or from the LDAP Group dialog box.
