Configuring an LDAP Authentication Server
When an administrative user goes to Config → Authentication and selects
LDAP from the “Authentication Type” pull-down menu, the fields shown in
the following figure appear.
Figure 7-16:Config → Authentication: LDAP
If an LDAP authentication server has not previously been configured, the
fields are empty. If an LDAP authentication server has previously been
configured, the fields are filled in.
To configure an LDAP server, the administrative user must obtain the needed
information about the LDAP server from the server’s administrator and fill in
the fields and check the checkbox, as desired. The following fields and
checkbox display when the LDAP authentication type is selected:
• LDAP Server IP address
• LDAP Base—The distinguished name of the search base
The default distinguished name is “dc,” as in dc=value,dc=value.
For example, if the distinguished name on the LDAP server is “o,” then
replace dc in the base field with o, as in o=value,o=value.
