Novell NDS Database
Note
If the administrator username specified does not have permission to
see the group name attribute in searches, group mapping fails for
users authenticated by Novell NDS.
•
Administrator Password—The password for the administrator of the Novell
server.
•
Context List—The full context list with each context specified in canonical,
typeless form; that is, remove the
o=
and
ou=
and separate each part of the
context using a period (.). You can enter more than one context list. If you do,
separate them with a comma. For example, if your Organization is
Corporation, your Organization Name is Chicago, and you want to enter two
Context names, Marketing and Engineering, you would type:
Engineering.Chicago.Corporation,Marketing.Chicago.Corporation
You do not need to add users in the Context List box.
Note
Users can provide a portion of their context when they login. For
more information, see
.
•
Context Subtree—Selecting this check box causes Cisco Secure ACS to
search subtrees for users during authentication. The subtrees searched are
those of the contexts specified in the Context List box.
Configuring a Novell NDS External User Database
Creating an Novell NDS database configuration is a process that provides
Cisco Secure ACS information that enables it to pass authentication requests to
an NDS database. This information reflects the way you have implemented your
NDS database and does not dictate how your NDS database is configured or
functions. For information about your NDS database, refer to your Novell NDS
documentation.
Tip
You can allow users to enter their own context as part of the login process. For
