When setting up an LDAP realm, which aspect is not necessary to configure?

In the context of setting up an LDAP realm, specifying admin credentials for the realm is not strictly necessary. The primary focus when configuring an LDAP realm is to ensure that the system can connect to the LDAP directory and search for user information effectively.

The search user Distinguished Name (DN), the LDAP server address, and the realm name are all essential components for the configuration. The search user DN is needed to bind the LDAP directory service, allowing it to perform searches for user information. The LDAP server address establishes the connection point for the realm, enabling communication with the directory service. The realm name serves as an identifier for the particular realm being configured.

While admin credentials can be helpful for certain administrative tasks, they are not a prerequisite for basic configuration and operation of the LDAP realm, as connecting and retrieving user data can often be accomplished with just the search user credentials.
