Returning User Group Information

Use the information in this section to return User Group information (and
assist with authorization) once authentication is successful.

From LDAP/LDAPS

When an LDAP/LDAPS authentication is successful, the KSX II
determines the permissions for a given user based on the permissions of
the user's group. Your remote LDAP server can provide these user group
names by returning an attribute named as follows:

rciusergroup

attribute type: string

This may require a schema extension on your LDAP/LDAPS server.
Consult your authentication server administrator to enable this attribute.

In addition, for Microsoft

®

Active Directory

®

, the standard LDAP

memberOf is used.

From Microsoft Active Directory

Note: This should be attempted only by an experienced Active Directory

®

administrator.

LDAP/LDAPS schema. See your Microsoft documentation for details.
