3. Right click on select Properties. Click the Attribute Editor tab.
4. Double-click the adminDescription attribute.
The String Attribute Editor dialog box opens.
5. Perform the appropriate action based on whether you are using Administrative Domains or
Virtual Fabrics:
• If you are using Administrative Domains, enter the value of the Admin Domain separated
by an underscore ( _ ) into the Value field.
Example for adding Admin Domains
adlist_0_10_200_endAd
Home Admin Domain (homeAD) for the user will be the first value in the adlist (Admin
Domain list). If a user has no values assigned in the adlist attribute, then the homeAD ‘0’
will be the default administrative domain for the user.
• If you are using Virtual Fabrics, enter the value of the logical fabric separated by an
semi-colon ( ; ) into the Value field.
Example for adding Virtual Fabrics
HomeLF=10;LFRoleList=admin:128,10;ChassisRole=admin
In this example, the logical switch that would be logged into by default is 10. If 10 is not
available then the lowest FID available will be chosen. You would have permission to enter
logical switch 128 and 10 in an admin role and you would also have the chassis role
permission of admin.
NOTE
You can perform batch operations using the Ldifde.exe utility. For more information on
importing and exporting schemas, refer to your Microsoft documentation or visit
www.microsoft.com.
Adding attributes to the Active Directory schema
To create a group in Active Directory, refer to www.microsoft.com or Microsoft documentation. You
will need to verify that the schema has the following attributes:
• Add a new attribute brcdAdVfData as Unicode String.
• Add brcdAdVfData to the person’s properties.
LDAP configuration and OpenLDAP
Fabric OS provides user authentication and authorization by means of OpenLDAP or the Microsoft
Active Directory service in conjunction with LDAP on the switch. This section discusses
authentication and authorization using OpenLDAP. For information about authentication and
authorization using Microsoft Active Directory, refer to
“LDAP configuration and Microsoft Active
Directory” on page 162.
