Configuring LDAP

Using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, the IMM can
authenticate a user by querying or searching an LDAP directory on an LDAP
server, instead of going through its local user database. Then, the IMM can
remotely authenticate any user access through a central LDAP server. This requires
LDAP client support on the IMM. You can also assign authority levels according to
information that is found on the LDAP server.

You can also use LDAP to assign users and IMMs to groups and perform group
authentication, in addition to the normal user (password check) authentication. For
example, an IMM can be associated with one or more groups, and a user would
pass group authentication only if the user belongs to at least one group that is
associated with the IMM.

Setting up a client to use the LDAP server

To set up a client to use the LDAP server, complete the following steps:
1.

Log in to the IMM on which you want to set up the client. For more
information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using the IMM Web interface,” on
page 9.

2.

In the navigation pane, click Network protocols and scroll down to the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Client

area of the page.

The IMM contains a Version 2.0 LDAP client that you can configure to provide
user authentication through one or more LDAP servers. The LDAP server that
is to be used for authentication can be discovered dynamically or manually
preconfigured.

3.

Choose one of the following methods to configure the LDAP client:
