R3000 Authentication Protocols
The R3000 supports two types of authentication protocols:
Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM), and Lightweight Direc-
tory Access Protocol (LDAP).
• NTLM authentication supports NTLM authentication
running on any of the following servers: Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 Mixed Mode, and Windows 2003 Mixed
Mode.
• LDAP authentication supports all versions of LDAP, such
as Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, Sun
ONE, and OpenLDAP.
R3000 Authentication Tiers and Options
R3000 authentication tiers
The R3000 authentication architecture for NTLM and LDAP
authentication protocols is comprised of three tiers. When
using NT and/or LDAP authentication with the R3000, one
of these three tiers is selected for use on the network,
depending on the server(s) used on the network and the
preferred authentication method(s) to be employed.
• Tier 1: Single sign-on, net use based authentication for
NT or Active Directory domains.
• Tier 2: Time-based, Web authentication for NT and LDAP
authentication methods.
• Tier 3: Session-based, Web authentication for NT or
LDAP authentication method.
