All you need is to set the following parameters:

Property	Default	Description
url	ldap://YOURDCFQDN/	URL of your Active Directory server.
base	dc=YOUR,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com	Base OU for your objects discovery.
hosts_base	OU=DataCenter Servers,dc=YOUR,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com	Base OU for the hosts discovery.
contacts_base	dc=YOUR,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com	Base OU for the contacts discovery.
username	SHINKEN@YOURDOMAIN.com	Username used to connect to the Ldap server.
password	PASSWORD	Password used by the user to connect to the Ldap server.

This connection information will allow the source to connect to your Active Directory. It only needs a « read only » account.
