The Connections view shows all the LDAP connections that you have added. Here is an example screenshot of the Connection view:

Organize Connections

It is possible to organize connections in folders and sub-folders. Use drag-and-drop to re-organize connections and folders.

You could copy and paste the connection parameters as LDAP URL to/from the clipboard. This makes it very easy to share connection parameters with other users.
