		agentless hosts with specified MAC addresses. The objectClass field in the LDAP user group
		shown in the previous code sample includes user00, user77a, and user88.
		The name that you give to this field in your LDAP schema must match the value that you
		enter in the Group Attribute Name text box when you specify the common LDAP
		configuration during ACS LD configuration.
		For information on configuring LDAP, see Configure an External LDAP Database for MAB
		Support, page 6-10.

Create One or More LDAP Database Configurations in ACS

After you have configured one or more LDAP databases to support MAB, configure ACS to query the LDAP databases.

The settings in the following procedure are based on the LDAP schema described in the previous section, Configure an External LDAP Database for MAB Support, page 6-10. For your ACS installation, configure ACS based on the schema that you set up for your network.
