Use this procedure to configure LDAP authentication
servers:
Click
Administration, and then Remote
Servers, and then LDAP
Authentication.
Click
Insert at the bottom of the
table.
Enter a
Hostname. This is a user-defined
name for the server. The hostname must be unique.
Enter an
Account Domain Name. This is the
name of the LDAP server.
Enter an
Account Domain Short Name. This
is a shorter version of the domain name, for example, WEBSITE.
Enter the
Port for the LDAP server on the
remote machine.
Enter the
Base DN. This is the directory
path of the user being authenticated.
Enter the
User Name for the user domain
name.
Enter the
Password for the user domain.
Enter the
Account Filter Format. This is
the user account search filter.
Enter the
Account Canonical Form. This is
the format for the user name listing.
Select whether or not to follow
Referrals.
Select whether or not to enable
Bind Requires DN, which
determines whether the LDAP required the user name in DN format.
Click
OK to submit the information and
return to the LDAP Authentication page, or click
Apply to submit the information
and continue entering additional data.
Note:
Once you have entered LDAP servers to the
listing, you can order them using the
Move Up and
Move Down buttons on the LDAP
Authentication screen. The server order in the listing determines the order
that servers are tried against.
When finished adding LDAP servers, click
Test Server to validate the
server connection. This button allows you to confirm the server settings (by
entering the correct userid/password combination) without logging out.
