HP Onboard Administrator - Manual (Page 70)

First Time Setup Wizard 70
Directory Settings screen
Use the following Directory Settings screen to set directory access for the currently selected enclosures:
NOTE: The Onboard Administrator LDAP feature supports Microsoft® Active Directory using the
memberOf attribute. Novell eDirectory is also supported with the groupMembership attribute.
OpenLDAP is not supported.
On this screen you can configure the following settings:
• Enable LDAP Authentication—Select this check box to enable a directory server to authenticate a user
sign in.
• Enable Local Users—Select this check box to enable a user to sign in using a local user account instead
of a directory account.
• Search Context—Specify one to six search contexts. A search context is a search filter or shortcut to a
common directory, defining the directory user search to start at the specified path. By specifying a
search context, users do not have to specify their full DNs at login. A DN might be long, and users might
not be familiar with their DN or might have accounts in different directory contexts. The Onboard
Administrator attempts to contact the directory service by DN, and then applies the search contexts in
order, beginning with Search Context 1 and continuing through any subsequent search contexts
until successful.
o Example 1:
Assume you are user1. If you enter the search context ou=OU1,dc=hp,dc=com, you can log in
as user1 instead of cn=user1,ou=OU1,dc=hp,dc=com.
o Example 2:
Assume the following search contexts are defined:
— Search Context 1: ou=OU1,dc=hp,dc=com
— Search Context 2: ou=OU2,ou=OU1,dc=hp,dc=com
