Configuring LDAP server authentication

NOTE

You cannot configure multiple Active Directory groups (domains) for the LDAP server.

NOTE

You cannot enter Domain\User_Name in the Management application dialog box for LDAP server
authentication.

If you are using an LDAP server for authentication, make the following preparations first:

Make sure that the LDAP server you want to use is on the network that the Management
application manages.

Have the IP address of the server available.

Know the TCP port you are using. The LDAP server uses Transport Layer Security (TLS). LDAP
over TLS generally uses port 389. If security is enabled the port number is 636. Check with the
LDAP server administrator if you are not sure which port to specify.
