LDAP Data Structure

An LDAP directory stores information in a tree structure known as the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The nodes in the tree are directory entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-value form. An example of the LDAP directory tree is shown in the figure below.

DIT Creation

The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) is used to represent LDAP entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The figure illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the KVM directory tree.

The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the OpenLDAP group for the KVM:

Using the New Schema

To use the new schema, do the following:

1.Save the new schema file (e.g., B022-U08-IP.schema) in the / OpenLDAP/ schema/ directory.

2.Add the new schema to the slapd.conf file, as shown in the figure:

3.Restart the LDAP server.

4.Write the LDIF file and create the database entries in init.ldif with the ldapadd command, as shown in the following example: ldapadd -f init.ldif -x-D “cn=Manager,dc=tripplite,dc=com” -w secret

Log Server Settings

Also included in the ANMS screen are settings that are required for the Windows-based log server; MAC Address and Port. If these settings are not entered correctly, the log server will not be able to communicate with and pull log information from the KVM switch.

•MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the computer that the Windows-based log server was installed on here.

•Port: Enter the firewall access port being used to communicate with the Windows-based log server here.
