Enabling LDAP and Local Authentication Services
To make authentication function properly all the time -- even when
external authentication is not available, you can enable both the local
and remote authentication services.
When both authentication services are enabled, the EMX follows these
rules for authentication:
When any of the LDAP/LDAPS servers in the access list is
accessible, the EMX authenticates against the connected
LDAP/LDAPS server only.
When the connection to every LDAP/LDAPS server fails, the EMX
allows authentication against the local database.
To enable both authentication services:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Authentication. The
Authentication Settings dialog appears.
2. Ensure the LDAP radio button has been selected.
3. Select the "Use Local Authentication if Remote Authentication
service is not available" checkbox.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
Enabling and Editing the Security Banner (Restrictive Service Agreement
Banner)
Use the EMX restricted service agreement (security banner) if you want
to require users to read and accept a security agreement when they log
on to the EMX.
A default agreement is provided. You can edit or replace the default text
as needed by typing directly in the security dialog or pasting text into it.
A maximum of 10,000 characters can be entered or pasted into the
security banner.
If a user declines the agreement, they cannot log in. An event notifying
you if a user has accepted or declined the agreement can be created.
See Default Log Messages (on page 148).
To enable the service agreement:
1. Click Device Services > Security > Restricted Service Agreement
Banner. The Restricted Service Agreement Setup dialog opens.
2. Select the Enforce Restricted Service Agreement checkbox.
3. Edit the text or replace it as needed.
