Figure 5–2 Configuration Agent, Authentication Mechanism

• Host Identifier (HostIdentifier): can be "HostName" or "IPAddress". The identifier must be set to match the contents of the LDAP attribute that is used to identify hosts. This attribute is defined in the mapping files as Host/UniqueIdAttribute.

• Qualified User Name (AuthDn): full DN of a user with read and search access rights on the repository.

• Password (Password): password of a registered LDAP user

  Note –

  If anonymous access is enabled in the directory, the Qualified User Name and the Password settings can be left blank.

• Authentication Type for applications (AuthType): can be “Anonymous” or “GSSAPI”, depending on how the LDAP server authenticates users.
