Inform directory users about the allowable username formats, and configure identity searches only for allowable formats. For examples of common LDAP username logon forms, see Use Case for Combined IdentityMap and IdentitySearch .
You should configure TLS for protection for the service bind that automatically accompanies all identity searches.
