Configure ILOM for LDAP Using the CLI

  1. Enter the proxy user name and password by typing:

    —> set /SP/clients/ldap binddn="cn=proxyuser, ou=people, ou=sales, dc=sun, dc=com" bindpw=password

  2. Enter the IP address of the LDAP server by typing:

    —> set /SP/clients/ldap ipaddress=ldapipaddress

  3. Assign the port used to communicate with the LDAP server by typing:

    —> set /SP/clients/ldap port=ldapport

    Note

    The default port is 389.

  4. Enter the Distinguished Name of the branch of your LDAP tree that contains users and groups by typing:

    —> set /SP/clients/ldap searchbase="ou=people, ou=sales, dc=sun, dc= com"

    This is the location in your LDAP tree that you want to search for user authentication.

  5. Set the state of the LDAP service to enabled by typing:

    —> set /SP/clients/ldap state=enabled

  6. To verify that LDAP authentication works, log in to ILOM using an LDAP user name and password.

    Note

    ILOM searches local users before LDAP users. If an LDAP user name exists as a local user, ILOM uses the local account for authentication.
