Add/Edit External Address Verifier
How to get hereThis pop-up enables you to either edit an existing Verifier or configure a new Verifier. See Example.
Active Directory / LDAP Verifier
- Auto Detect For Active Directory. Check this box if your mail server is on an Active Directory domain. Auto Detect will automatically pull information using the current domain and search all the sub-containers.
Note: The settings used for Auto Detect will not fill user interface text boxes.
- Enabled. (Set by Default) Enables verifier for use once saved.
- Verifier Name. (Required) Enter a name in the text box to identify the Address Verifier. This can be any name that you want, and will be used in log lines to identify the Address Verifier.
- Host Address. The fully qualified domain name or IP address of the LDAP server. The IMail Server will attempt to resolve this information automatically if left blank.
- Port. The TCP port for your LDAP Server. Port 389 is the default when left blank.
- DN. The Distinguished Name of the LDAP container on the server to connect to and query. The IMail Server will attempt a rootDSE call for the Default Naming Context to set the DN when left blank.
- Username / Password. Credentials used for connecting to your LDAP Server. Normally this would only be used if the mail server is not a member of the domain being used. If left blank the SMTP Service user context is used, which is normally
"NT authority\LocalSystem". - Filter. This is an advanced option feature and should only be used with a full understanding of LDAP filter strings. Normally this is used only to connect with a custom LDAP Server. For an Active Directory database sAMAccountName, User Principal Name, CN, and OpenLDAP uid are used as part of the default search string.
- Enable Sub-level Search. Set by Default. This setting will allow LDAP to search the current container and all sub containers indicated by the DN. Leaving this unchecked will limit LDAP to search only the the container indicated by DN.
- Authentication Type. This drop down identifies the Authentication Type to be used with the LDAP Verifier.
- Secure. For secure authentication, the Address Verifier will authenticate using NTLM or Kerberos depending on the OS is configuration to use Windows NT or an Active Directory provider. This is the value that will be used when the Auto Detect is being used.
- ServerBind. Uses standard LDAP authentication against the server. This should be used when connecting to other LDAP servers (including the IMail LDAP Server).
Note: If the Active Directory path includes a server name, then specify this flag when using LDAP. Do not use this flag for paths that include a domain name or for serverless paths.
- Anonymous. Selected this setting only if the LDAP does not require authentication.
- Test Verifier. Click this button to test the current verifier settings. Saving is not required for use of the test button.
- Address to Verify. Email address to test.
OK. Click this button to add / update the External Address Verifier. The new verifier will appear on the External Address Verification list, but will not be permanent until the "Save" button is clicked.
Cancel. Click to return to External Address Verifier page without saving.
