then login operations will fail. LDAPS has been deprecated in favor

of using StartTLS (see option below). Do not use LDAPS if you are

using StartTLS. Once you apply LDAPS, StartTLS will not be

available.

StartTLS

— Uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) over the same port

as regular LDAP (389). Select the

StartTLS

check box to configure

secure LDAP communication using TLS. If TLS mode is not

supported on your LDAP server, then login operations will fail. Do

not use StartTLS if you are using LDAPS. See

Figure 15

on page 103.

Installing an LDAP TLS CA Certificate

5

If you are using LDAPS or StartTLS, you can also install a TLS CA

certificate for additional verification that the LDAP server has not been

compromised. The certificate must be the same certificate that is installed

on your LDAP server and must be in .pem format. The library will only

perform the verification if you have configured Secure LDAP (using

either LDAPS or StartTLS). Place a copy of the certificate file in an

accessible location on your computer and use the

Browse

button to locate

and install it. Once a certificate is installed, you can remove it by selecting

the

Remove TLS CA Certificate

check box. See

Figure 15

on page 103.

Configuring LDAP on the Library

5

Before configuring LDAP, obtain the following LDAP parameters from

your network administrator. You need to enter these parameters in the

Setup - Remote Authentication

screen on the Web client.

Server URI

— The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the LDAP

server where user account information is stored. The URI includes

the LDAP server host name or IP address and can include the LDAP

server network port. Port 389 is the default.
Examples:
ldap://hostname:389
ldap://10.50.91.103
ldap://mycompany.com

LDAPS

— Optional. See

Configuring Secure LDAP on the Library

on

page 100.
