SMART CAT5 SWITCH 16 IP.
35.LDAP Settings
You can keep authentication information in a central LDAP directory. The purpose of LDAP is simply to confirm the password during login with the LDAP server. The user must exist on both the LDAP and Smart IP 16 side.
On login Smart IP 16 internal user management checks the user. If the user is verified the password is then checked against the LDAP server. If the password is verified the user is logged in and the user rights are taken from Smart IP 16 local user management
From the Smart 16 IP Menu choose LDAP Settings. The LDAP Settings appears. See Figure 34.
Figure 34 LDAP Settings
User LDAP Server - Enter the name or IP address of the LDAP server containing all the user entries. If you use a name, configure a DNS server in the network settings.
Base DN of User LDAP Server - Specify the distinguished name (DN) where the directory tree starts in the user LDAP server.
Type of external LDAP Server - Set the type of the external LDAP server. This is necessary since some server types require special handling. Also the default values for the LDAP schema are set appropriately. Choose between Generic LDAP Server, Novell Directory Service and Microsoft Active Directory. If you don’t have Novell Directory Service or Microsoft Active Directory then choose Generic LDAP Server and edit the LDAP schema used (see below).
