I am trying to import user profiles into my SP2007 test setup. I am using an LDAP connection so I can import the profiles from a specific OU. In the connectin settings a "Provider" is asked for. I am using a Win2003 domain. I have no idea what an LDAP provider is.

The provider in this case would be the same that you have specified in your Web.config. You can check the following article for more info on Properties of the LDAP Role Provider Hope that helps. -Mukesh"Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

There must be 20-30 web.config files on my SP server. How do I tell which one to look at?

Hi, The provider name is the name of the registered LDAP authentication provider. The provider name here needs to match the provider name specified in the Web.config file. In order to import user profiles and authenticate via LDAP, we should add a LDAP membership provider both in SharePoint Central Administrator site and the web site. You can find the provider name in your SharePoint Central Administrator web.config file. I think this article can help you: http://www.setfocus.com/technicalarticles/articles/MOSS2007-and-Novell-LDAP-Authentication.aspx Hope it helps.

As Xue-Mei Chang has mentioned you will need to add the LDAP Role & MemberShip provider string in the Central Administrator's Web.Config and also in every Web.config of the web application where you will be using your LDAP. Hope that helps. -Mukesh"Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
