LDAP tab

The LDAP tab in the main Timbuktu Pro window allows you to search for other Timbuktu Pro computers when you don't know their IP addresses. Once the desired computer is found, you may connect to it without leaving the LDAP tab.

Note: The LDAP tab appears only if Enable LDAP Directory Feature is selected in the LDAP Options dialog box.

To find a remote user using the LDAP search feature

  1. In the main Timbuktu Pro window, click the LDAP tab.

  2. In the Search For box, type a search string. This can be some portion of the remote user's login name, computer name, email address, or any other information stored in their user profile. Enter * as a wildcard character when you are not certain of the entire search string.

  3. Click Find Now and Timbuktu Pro will search the LDAP server for users whose profiles include your search string. Up to 500 entries will be returned, unless your system administrator has set a different value.

  4. To make a Timbuktu Pro connection to the desired computer, click the computer’s name in the list of computers and choose a service from the Timbuktu Pro Service toolbar. Or right-click on the user’s name and choose a service from the shortcut menu.
