Adding an Appliance Administrator (BUI)
To let an existing LDAP user log in using LDAP credentials and administer the appliance, use the following procedure.
Note - If both NIS and LDAP are configured on the appliance and the services return different information for a particular item, the appliance will use the data provided by NIS.
-
Go to Configuration > Services > LDAP, and enter the properties that you
want to use.
For information about the available properties, see LDAP Properties.
- To apply the properties you selected, click Apply or click Revert to start over.
-
To add LDAP servers, in the Servers section click the add item icon
.
For information about servers, see the Servers section in LDAP Properties.
-
To configure the LDAP server, in the New LDAP Server box, enter the LDAP
server Address and select the LDAP Certificate source that you want to use.
For the Certificate source, select Server to search the current server and retrieve the certificate (in an insecure manner), and use it to validate the certificate presented later.
-
Go to Configuration > Users, and add users as needed using LDAP usernames.
For information about adding users, see Configuring Users.
