The RIPM lets you either use a local authentication or keep the information in a central Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or in a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server. For LDAP or RADIUS, you must specify some information in the Authentication Settings panel. For more information regarding the LDAP and RADIUS settings, see below.

1.LDAP

1a. User LDAP Server

Enter the name or IP address of the LDAP server containing all the user entries. If you choose a name instead of an IP address, you need to configure a DNS server in the network settings.

1b. Base DN of User LDAP Server

Specify the distinguished name (DN) where the directory tree starts in the user LDAP server.

1c. Type of External LDAP Server

Set the type of the external LDAP server. This is necessary because some server types require special handling. Additionally, the default values for the LDAP scheme are set appropriately. You can choose between a Generic LDAP Server, a Novell Directory Service, and a Microsoft Active Directory. If you have neither a Novell Directory Service nor a Microsoft Active Directory, then choose a Generic LDAP Server and edit the LDAP scheme (see below).

1d. Name of Login-Name Attribute

This is the name of the attribute containing the unique login name of a user. To use the default, leave this field empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP server type.

1e. Name of User-Entry Object Class

This is the object class that identifies a user in the LDAP directory. To use the default, leave this field empty. The default depends on the selected LDAP server type.
