The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying directory services and runs over TCP/IP. Connection to an LDAP server allows data to be imported from directory services such as the Microsoft Active Directory service.

Connection settings

Host	The host name (DNS name) or the IP address of the server on which the database is located.
Port	The TCP/IP port number used by the database.
User name	User name for the connection to the database.
Password	Password for the connection to the database.
Encoding	The most common character encodings are UTF-8 (default), ASCII, and latin1 (Windows standard). A list of all character codes can be found at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html From this list you can also enter manually a character code into the field ‘Encoding’.
