    • Off: Select when server authentication is not required.

    • Cleartext Authentication: The password is sent to the LDAP server without encryption.

    • Digest Authentication: Authentication is performed on the LDAP server. This method is only available on a server supporting LDAP version 3.0. The password is protected with encryption and is then sent to the LDAP server.

    • Kerberos Authentication: Authentication is performed on the KDC server. The password is protected with encryption and is then sent to the KDC server.

  • User Name, Password: Enter the user name and password of the account that requests Search to the LDAP server (administrator or representative). For the search request with the Authentication Information of the user, do not enter.

    • You can browse the Address Book instead of entering the user name and password directly.

  • Realm Name: If [Kerberos Authentication] is selected, select the Realm Name.

    Program the Realm in advance.
