    • Bind Type: The LDAP bind type is CN.
    • Search DN: A Search DN is the LDAP entry from which the user search will be done. The default search scope is Subtree. This should be the top or base DN (dc=example, dc=com) for better user searches.
    • Use Service Account: If the Use Service Account toggle button is set to ON, then Jiffy looks for the user in the Service Account first, and then it validates the user based on the selected bind type.

The user is redirected to the LDAP settings screen to check if the details provided are correct and if not, modify them. Click on the TRY AGAIN button to check the connection. If the connection fails again, a message Please contact System Administrator and alternatively Jiffy authentication can be used will be displayed.
