This dialog is used to configure the default setting for all client applications using the OpenLDAP binaries or libraries. This configuration is saved in ldap.conf, found in the OpenLDAP configuration directory, usually /etc/openldap or /usr/local/etc/openldap. Users may override the default settings when they run the clients.
Usually you need to set a search base, a server name, and sometimes, if you need to authenticate your client to the server, a binddn and a bindpassword. In this examples we will be using configuration settings needed to browse the ldapconf demo server, if you already have access to a working LDAP directory you should use settins for this, if not, feel free to test your setup against the demoserver.
