LDAP Feature for the RCS

xxx

Disable - do not permit user caching, and always ask the LDAP Directory Server
for guidance on the authentication status for every user, every time it is
required. By default, User Caching is disabled.

Enable - hold results of recent user authorization requests as determined by the
LDAP Directory Server. When identical authorization requests are received
within a pre-determined time period, use those prior results to service the new
request.

Timeout Period - establishes the duration of the time window. Values are
recorded as minutes. Enter only the number in the box, or use the arrow
controls.

Default timeout value: 15 minutes

Minimum timeout: 1 minute

Maximum timeout: 1,000 minutes

NOTE: As with all configuration updates, you must click the Save to secure
your changes. LDAP configuration changes are generally available to the
RCS immediately, with no reboot required.

Entering Extension Options - Active Directory LDAP

When Active Directory mode is selected, administrators must determine if the
Standard or Extended Schema will be employed. Additionally, administrators
should declare whether the Microsoft Global Catalog option will be in use.

Entering Authentication Parameters - Standard LDAP

When using standard LDAP (not Microsoft Active Directory LDAP), direct
entry of at least one relevant directory server address is required. Enter the
addresses in the Primary Server and Secondary Server fields. The primary server
entry is required.

Server addresses may be entered in one of the following forms:

DNS address (example: myldapserver.com)

IPv4 address (example: 10.20.255.255)
