Kleopatra's configure dialog can be accessed via ->.
Each of its pages is described in the sections below.
On this page, you can configure which LDAP servers to use for certificate searches. You can also configure their order, as well as some selected LDAP-related settings from the dynamic backend configuration dialog, available via ->.
To add a new server, click on the Add Service... button. In the dialog that appears, you can set the Server name, the Port (preset to the default LDAP port), the Base DN (sometimes referred to as the search root or search base), and the usual User name and Password, both of which are only needed if the server requires authentication. Clicking OK adds the server details to the list of servers, while Cancel dismisses the input.
To remove a server from the search list, select it in the list, then press the Remove Service button.
To change the relative search order of servers, select one of them and move it up or down with the arrow buttons right next to the list.
To set the LDAP timeout, that is, the maximum time the backend will wait for a server to respond, simply use the corresponding input field labelled LDAP timeout.
If one of your servers has a large database, so that even
reasonable searches like Smith
hit the
maximum number of items returned by query, you
might want to increase this limit. You can find out easily if you hit
the limit during a search, since a dialog box will pop up in that
case, telling you that the results have been truncated.
Some servers may impose their own limits on the number of items returned from a query. In this case, increasing the limit here will not result in more returned items.
