If eDirectory is installed and running on another port besides the default port 524, you can use the IP address or DNS name of the eDirectory server to log in if you also specify the port. If you use the tree name to log in, you do not have to specify a port. (Example: 127.0.0.1: 1080)
Possible values for the tree name field are: Tree name, Server IP Address, and Server DNS name.
Single Sign-on functionality (including Forward authentication, OLAC, and Form Fill) is not compatible with iManager 2.5. iManager 2.5 requires a username, password, and tree name for login, so Single Sign-on using Forward authentication or OLAC will not work. Form Fill also fails because the Exit button in the iManager toolbar directs you back to the initial login form. When FormFill is active, you are simply logged back in to iManager.
You can log in to a server without a replica if you have previously logged in to the tree using the tree name, or if you have logged in to the tree using a server that contains a replica.
Login failures occur for a variety of reasons. Authentication Error Messages are addressed in the Troubleshooting chapter.
