• Directory Node to Begin Search—Specify a full LDAP directory path that points towards
a node containing the information for all groups in the directory.
• Filter—Specify an LDAP filter to easily find and identify users and mailing lists on the
server. In this example,
(&(|(objectClass=group)(objectClass=person)(objectClass=publicFolder))(mail=*))
• User Login Name Attribute—Specify the text attribute the user will use as their ‘login
name.’ The generally accepted attribute for this field is sAMAccountName. Note that this
field works in sync with the Filter field, and needs to agree in both fields if changed.

alias attributes that link a single user to his or her junk box. The single generally accepted
attribute for this field is proxyAddresses. Note that any other attributes must be separated
by a comma. In this example, proxyAddresses,legacyExchangeDN.
