LDAP Feature for the RCS

xxx

To set up group queries:

1

Log in to your LDAP Directory Server software with administrator
privileges.

2

Create an organizational unit (OU) to be used as group container.

3

Create a computer object in with a name identical to the switching system
name for querying appliances or identical to the attached target devices for
querying target devices. The name must match exactly and is case-sensitive.

4

The appliance names and target device names used for group queries are
stored in the appliance. The appliance name specified in the Appliance
Overview screen of the remote OBWI and target device names must be
comprised of any combination of upper-case and lower-case letters, digits,
and hyphens, and must match the object names on the LDAP Server.

5

Create one or more groups under the group container organizational unit.

6

Add the usernames and the target device and appliance objects to the
groups you created in step four (4).

7

Specify the value of an attribute used to implement the Access Control
Attribute.

Search Configuration Settings

There are four settings that are required for successful LDAP connections. They
are Search DN, Search Password, Search Base, and UID Mask.

Search DN

Search DN defines the administrator-level user that the target device uses to log
into the directory service. Once the target device is authenticated, the directory
service grants it access to the directory to perform the user authentication
queries specified on the LDAP query page. Each search value must be separated
by a comma. A typical entry might look like this:

cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=MyDomainName,dc=com
