Quick Google Search Appliance Tip: Using ADSI Edit as a Powerful tool for LDAP configuration
October 17th, 2008 | Angelo
Many of our customers find it difficult to figure out which LDAP query to run in their Google Search Appliance (GSA) or Google Mini (Mini) LDAP setup wizard. When configuring LDAP on the GSA, a common issue that the user may run into is finding the correct information for the “Distinguished Name” (DN) field.
Our solution to this problem is a handy command that can be executed on your server providing Active Directory.
In order to quickly find the DN, open a command prompt and enter the command “adsiedit.msc”.
After you execute this command navigate to the account in which you are seeking the distinguished name (This is typically your account).
Right-click on that account and select “properties”.
Then find the “Distinguished Name” category, double-click, and you will have the answer you seek.
