You configure Publisher on the Administration page.

1. On the Administration page, click Security Configuration.
2. Set up a Local Superuser if one has not been configured. This is very important in case the security configuration fails, you must still be able to log in to Publisher using the Superuser credentials.
3. In the Authorization region of the page, select LDAP from the Security Model list.
4. Enter the details for the Active Directory server, as described in Configure Publisher to Recognize the LDAP Server, noting the following specific information for Active Directory:

   • Set Group Search Filter objectclass to "group"

   • Set Member of Group Member Attribute Name to "memberOf" (Group Member Attribute Name can be left blank).

   • Set Attribute used for Login Username to "sAMAccountName".

   • If you're using LDAP over SSL note the following:

     • the protocol is ldaps

     • the default port is 636

     An example URL would be: ldaps://example.com:636/

   The figure below shows an example configuration highlighting the recommendations stated above.
