The table name you are referring to in the LDAP Vendor Form is an LDAP search string and is unique to each installation of an LDAP directory service (which is supported by Microsoft's Active Directory).
The LDAP_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_HOST could be a Domain Controller server in your organization or an alias to the Active Directory tree. The BASE_DN is where you want to start in the Active Directory tree. The LDAP integration has been around since ARS 5.1. A free tool to look at your LDAP directory is the Softerra LDAP Browser: http://www.softerra.com/download.htm Another free tool is in the Microsoft Support Tools and is called LDP. The values in the Table names of a Vendor form are specific to that Vendor plugin for the ARS server.

I have yet to find anything to help me understand the variables available in vendor form table names.

I have the LDAP configurations configured and working properly. I have been populating these values, and if these variable references work, that would be a much better way to do things. I will trial and error, but if someone can better explain, or point me to where this is in documentation, that would be great. Also, is this same in 7.x, or new to 7.5?
