(1) The login name is the name with which you log on to the client. The user name is internal (usually the real/full name of the user).

(2) The LDAP identifier (directory service user for the initial connection to the LDAP server). For Windows Active Directory a typical entry is Domain\Username. OpenLDAP or other LDAP systems typically expect entries like cn=username,cn=users,ou=groups,dc=test,dc=com.

The following listing shows the entry in file ./etc/startup.xml that has to exist so that a user can log on to Lobster_data via LDAP. Here, the LDAP-Alias (here win2k3) and the fallback user (normal Lobster_data user, here admin) are specified. If there is an configureLDAP entry in this file, the normal password stored for the Lobster_data user will not be used when logging on to the Lobster_data client. Instead, the authentication is done via LDAP. If the LDAP server is not available, the fallback user (and its password set in the user administration of Lobster _data) will be used for the login to Lobster_data.

<!-- LDAP (alias and fallback user name in case of broken LDAP server connection -->
<Call name="configureLDAP">
	<Arg type="String">win2k3</Arg>
	<Arg type="String">admin</Arg>
</Call>

(3) The default address for profile error emails.

(4) The clients for which the user is authorised.
