When setting up Novell NDS authentication on the Authentication tab, the Search Root text box is typically left blank. Then, on the MFP configuration Authentication tab, information is provided about the Default NDS Tree and Default NDS Context. When users log in at the device, the default NDS tree and context are shown on the login screen, and the user can edit them if necessary.

When setting up Novell Bindery authentication on the Authentication tab, the Search Root text box is also typically left blank. Then, on the MFP configuration Authentication tab, information is provided about the Default Bindery Server. When users log in at the device, the default bindery server appears on the login screen, and the user can edit it if necessary.

LDAP authentication

LDAP is a standard, extensible directory-access protocol. It is a common language that LDAP clients and servers use to communicate with each other. LDAP is a message-oriented protocol. The client constructs a message that contains a request and sends it to the server. The server processes the request and sends back the result in a series of LDAP messages. LDAP is also a connection- oriented protocol. The client opens a connection and performs any number of operations on the same connection.

For the LDAP server bind method, LDAP authentication uses either the Simple or the Simple over SSL method. See Table 3-4 Authentication bind methods.
