<para>TODO<screenshot>
<para>The server profiles store information about your LDAP server (e.g.
host name) and what kind of accounts (e.g. users and groups) you would
like to manage. There is no limit on the number of server
profiles.</para>

<para>Here you can create, rename and delete server profiles. The
<link linkend="a_configPasswords">passwords</link> of your server
profiles can also be reset.</para>
<para>You may also specify the default server profile. This is the
server profile which is preselected at the login page. It also
specifies the language of the login and configuration pages.</para>

<para>You can create a new server profile by simply entering its name
and password. After you created a new profile you can go back to the
profile login and edit your new server profile.</para>

authenticate yourself with the <link

<para>The server address of your LDAP server can be a DNS name or an
IP address. Use ldap:// for unencrypted LDAP connections or TLS
encrypted connections. LDAP+SSL (LDAPS) encrypted connections are
specified with ldaps://. The port value is optional. TLS cannot be
combined with ldaps://.</para>
<para>LAM includes an LDAP browser which allows direct modification
of LDAP entries. If you would like to use it then enter the LDAP
suffix at "Tree suffix".</para>
<para>Some LDAP queries are internally cached by LAM. You can
specify how long LAM should use cached data. The search limit is
used to reduce the number of search results which are returned by
your LDAP server.</para>
<para>The access level specifies if LAM should allow to modify LDAP
entries. This feature is only available in LAM Pro. LAM non-Pro
releases use write access. See <link
linkend="a_accessLevelPasswordReset">this page</link> for details on
the different access levels.</para>

select the default language for this server profile. The language
setting may be overriden at the LAM login page.</para>

<para>LAM can manage user home directories and quotas with an
external script. You can specify the home directory server and where
the script is located. The default rights for new home directories
can be set, too.</para>

<para>LAM supports two methods for login. You may either specify a
fixed list of LDAP DNs or let LAM search for the DN in your
directory. E.g. if a user logs in with the user name "joe" then LAM
will do an LDAP search for this user name. When it finds a matching
DN then it will use this to authenticate the user. The wildcard
"%USER%" will be replaced by "joe" in this example. This way you can
provide login by user name, email address or other LDAP
attributes.</para>
<para>You may also change the password of this server
profile.</para>
