Chapter 13
LDAP Server Configuration
Introduction
The KVM Over the NET
TM
switch allows log in authentication and
authorization through external programs. This chapter describes how to
configure Active Directory for KVM Over the NET
TM
switch authentication
and authorization.
To allow authentication and authorization via LDAP or LDAPS, the Active
Directory’s LDAP Schema must be extended so that an extended attribute
name for the KVM Over the NET
TM
switch – iKVM4140-userProfile – is
added as an optional attribute to the person class.
Note: Authentication refers to determining the authenticity of the person
logging in; authorization refers to assigning permission to use the
device’s various functions.
In order to configure the LDAP server, you will have to complete the following
procedures: 1) Install the Windows Server Support Tools; 2) Install the Active
Directory Schema Snap-in; and 3) Extend and Update the Active Directory
Schema.
The following section provides an example of configuring LDAP under
Windows 2003 Server.
