Modifying Hidden Desktop Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Desktop setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

There is currently only one advanced hidden parameter available with Desktop sources.

LdapSearchRoot (String) CES 7.0.4876+ (October 2012)

Optional LDAP search root parameter used to retrieve information on remote clients (display name, mailbox, etc.). When your LDAP server is not the default server, use this parameter to target a specific LDAP server, port, or path when searching for remote clients accounts.

Example: LDAP://OU=Users,DC=corp,DC=acme,DC=com

Use the following procedure only when you want to modify one or more of the above hidden source parameters.
