LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch

Figure 8-6. Typical Setup for Active Directory Objects

You can create as many or as few association objects as you want or need.

However, you must create at least one Association Object, and you must have

one RCS Device Object for each Remote Console Switch on the network that

you want to integrate with Active Directory for Authentication and

Authorization. The Association Object allows for as many or as few users

and/or groups as well as RCS Device Objects. However, the Association Object

only has one Privilege Object per Association Object. The Association Object

connects the “Users” who have “Privileges” on the RCSs.
In addition, you can set up Active Directory objects in a single domain or in

multiple domains. For example, you have two Remote Console Switches

(RCS1 and RCS2) and three existing Active Directory users (user1, user2, and

user3). You want to give user1 and user2 an administrator privilege to both

Remote Console Switches and give user3 a login privilege to the RCS2.
Figure 8-7 shows how you set up the Active Directory objects in this scenario.
