Note: Upon receipt of an Access-Request from a valid client, an appropriate reply MUST be
transmitted. An Access-Request SHOULD contain a User-Name attribute. It MUST contain either
a NAS-IP-Address attribute or a NAS-Identifier attribute (or both). Raritan recommends using
the NAS-IP-Address matches <IP Address>.
Implementing LDAP Remote Authentication
Reminder: Microsoft Active Directory functions natively as an LDAP authentication server.
If you choose LDAP authentication protocol, complete the LDAP fields as follows:
• Default Port / User Defined Port: By default, LDAP uses port 389. To use a different port,
click User defined ports, and then enter a different port number in the Custom port field.
• Base DN, Base Search: This describes the name you want to bind against the LDAP, and
where in the database to begin searching for the specified Base DN. An example Base DN
value might be: “cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=testradius,dc=com” and an example Base
Search value might be: “cn=”Users,dc=raritan,dc=com”. Consult your authentication server
administrator for the appropriate values to enter into these fields.
