To Identify an LDAP Authentication Server
Perform this procedure to identify the authentication server when the KVM/
net or any of its ports is configured to use the LDAP authentication method or
any of its variations (LDAP, Local/LDAP, LDAP/Local, or LDAP/
DownLocal).
Before starting this procedure, find out the following information from the
LDAP server’s administrator:
• The distinguished name of the search base
• The LDAP domain name
• Whether to use secure LDAP
• The authentication server’s IP address
You can enter information in the following two fields, but an entry is not
required:
• LDAP password
• The LDAP user name
• LDAP Login Attribute
Work with the LDAP server’s administrator to ensure that following types of
accounts are set up on the LDAP server and that the administrators of the
KVM/net and connected devices know the passwords assigned to the
accounts:
• An account for “admin”
• If LDAP authentication is specified for the KVM/net, accounts for all
users who need to log in to the KVM/net to administer connected devices.
• If LDAP authentication is specified for KVM ports, accounts for users
who need administrative access to the connected devices.
1. Go to Configuration>Authentication>LDAP in Expert mode.
The “LDAP” form displays with “LDAP Server” and “LDAP Search
Base” fields filled in from the current values in the /etc/ldap.conf
file.
