Specify the DNS IP address using either IPv4 or IPv6. This is needed for the switch to resolve
the domain name to the IP address because LDAP initiates a TCP session to connect to your
Microsoft Active Directory server. A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is needed to validate
the server identity as mentioned in the common name of the server certificate.

3. Set up LDAP according to the instructions in

“LDAP configuration and Microsoft Active

Directory”

on page 111 in

Chapter 5, “Managing User Accounts”
