You create an LDAP policy for iOS devices in XenMobile to provide information about an LDAP server to use, including any necessary account information. The policy also provides a set of LDAP search policies to use when querying the LDAP server.

You need the LDAP host name before configuring this policy.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.

  • Account user name: Enter an optional user name.

  • LDAP host name: Enter the LDAP server host name. This field is required.
  • Use SSL: Select whether to use a Secure Socket Layer connection to the LDAP server. The default is On.
  • Search Settings: Add search settings to use when querying the LDAP server. You can enter as many search settings as you want, but you must add at least one search setting to make the account useful. Click Add and then do the following:
