You have samples in the docs and from the HoffmanLabs (no space in the 
name, BTW) site.   http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/619

Also see the V8.4 file SYS$HELP:ACMELDAP_STD_CONFIG_INSTALL.PDF for 
some related details.

As for what's necessary on your particular Active Directory 
configuration, you're going to have to look at your own directory, and 
match that up with what the INI file wants to find.

This is one of various areas where the design and/or the integration 
and/or the user interface makes OpenVMS look bad, unfortunately.
