To ensure successful user synchronization and authentication, the following attributes must be set to identical values on both the Synchronization Agent and your Active Directory server: User Search Filter, User Email Attribute, User Full Name Attribute, Department Name Attribute, Group Search Filter, Group Attribute, and Group Name Attribute.
Trend Micro strongly recommends keeping the default values for these attributes.

Domain
Do either of the following:
-
Select + New domain, type a domain name, and then configure the settings for the domain. The domain name should already exist on the Directory Services page of the TMWS management console.
After you click Apply, the Synchronization Agent saves the domain configurations, and you can see the domain name in the drop-down list.
-
Select a configured domain name from the drop-down list, and then click Delete.
The Synchronization Agent removes the domain and its configurations.
The Synchronization Agent supports synchronizing user and group data on multiple configured domains at the same time.
Server Hostname
Type the Active Directory host name or IP address. Change the port number only if you use a different port for the Active Directory server.
If you use a global catalog server or a trusting domain, set Port to 3268 or 3269 based on whether the corresponding server uses LDAP or LDAPS.
Enable Secondary LDAP and Server Hostname
Turn on to ensure the continuation of service in case the primary Active Directory server becomes unavailable.
Type the Active Directory host name or IP address. Change the port number only if you use a different port for the Active Directory server.

Type the Active Directory authentication credentials.
Enable Anonymous Access
Turn on to allow the administrator to be authenticated without providing an Active Directory administrator's account. For this feature to work, also enable anonymous authentication on the Active Directory server.
Base Distinguished Name
Type the name used by the Active Directory server as a reference point when querying an Active Directory.
User Search Filter
Query Active Directory by users.
User Name Attribute
The Active Directory user ID attribute name, "sAMAcountName", cannot be modified.

Sync Frequency
Synchronize with the Active Directory server manually or according to a schedule (every six hours, daily, weekly, or monthly). If you choose Manually, whenever there are changes to Active Directory user information, remember to go back to this screen and perform manual synchronization so that information in TMWS remains current.
TMWS Administrator Account (Username and Password)
Type the TMWS administrator's account and password to allow the Synchronization Agent to connect to TMWS.
