to configure the Content Server, or
other local or domain users can be
given a
site manager role. Domain
authentication can only be used if the
Content Server has been added to a
domain. If you add the Content Server
to an existing domain, you need to
define a separate security policy for the
Content Server, otherwise the existing
security policies may prevent it from
functioning correctly. Contact your
authorized Cisco reseller or partner for
details of the recommended security
policy settings. The recommended
authentication mode for a cluster is
domain authentication.
LDAP: LDAP authentication does not
require the Content Server to be added
to a domain. Before changing
authentication from Local to LDAP, the
site manager must add at least one
LDAP user with the site manager role to
the Content Server. To do this, go to
Management Settings > Groups and
users and select Add groups or
users. Enter at least one valid
username in Site manager role. Under
LDAP authentication local users cannot
log in using the standard login method.
However, the local administrator can log
in by adding #page:login&rescue:true to
the end of the Content Server URL in
the browser.

Base DN
The search base which the Content Server
uses to search for user records. (DN =
Distinguished Name)
The Content Server searches the object
specified and any objects beneath it.
The Base DN is a unique name for this
container. It typically consists of OU,
CN, and DC components.
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=co
mpany,DC=com
In this example, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’;
therefore,
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
identifies all employees including the
Marketing department and
