Using LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is the industry standard Internet protocol that provides
centralized user account management. This library supports the Microsoft Active Directory LDAP
server and user account information in the schema defined by RFC 2307. User password schemes
must be encrypted using UNIX crypt.
You can configure the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) settings any time after the
initial library configuration. Once you enable and configure LDAP, you can view your current LDAP
settings using the LDAP menu.
LDAP server guidelines
User account information is centralized and shared by different applications, simplifying user
account management tasks. Administrative users can add, delete, and modify only local user
account information.
User and group access
For LDAP accounts with user privileges, access to library partitions is determined by group
assignment on the LDAP server. LDAP accounts with administrative privileges have access to all
partitions and administrative functions and do not need to be assigned to partition-related groups
on the LDAP server. LDAP accounts with user privileges have read-only access basic library
information and cannot make library configuration changes.
LDAP accounts with administrative privileges have access to all partitions and administrative
functions and do not need to be assigned to partition-related groups on the LDAP server.
NOTE: Usernames and group objects must be in LDAP Distinguished Names formats.
