LDAP server configuration

NOTE

You must have User Management Read and Write privileges to map roles and AORs to Active
Directory (AD) groups.

NOTE

You must configure a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server as the primary
authentication server and set Authentication Server Groups as the authorization preference (refer
to

“Configuring LDAP server authentication”

on page 435).

Authentication Server Groups enable you to configure user access rights to AD groups (including
users, contacts, computers, and other AD groups) by assigning roles and AORs to groups in the
Management application. LDAP provides user authentication and authorization using the AD
service in conjunction with LDAP on the switch.
