Readout Attributes from MS AD

To readout some attributes for Authentication Type SSO or Authentication Type LDAP from the Microsoft AD you can use the open source JXplorer tool or ApacheDirectoryStudio. To connect to the LDAP server via the JXplorer tool, you first have to detect the Host and the Base DN. Open the command line and run nslookup.

Each entry from the Standard server separated by . is an new entry for dc. E.g. .vertigis.intern means dc=vertigis,dc=intern.

The login to the LDAP server has to be known.
