Black Box servswitch cx uno ip, kv1081a, kv1161a manual Ldap configuration

LDAP configuration

The ServSwitch CX Uno IP can optionally use the industry standard LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to allow user authentication to occur in conjunction with an externally held database. This screen allows you to configure details related to the creation of an LDAP link to an external directory service, such as an Active Directory server.

To get here

1Using VNC viewer or a browser, log on as the ‘admin’ user.

2Click the ‘Configure’ button in the top right corner.

3Click the ‘LDAP Configuration’ option.

Use LDAP

Tick this option to enable the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol features of the unit.

Host Address

Enter the IP address of the LDAP server that holds the required directory service.

Host Port

The standard port address for LDAP links is 389 and this should not need to be changed unless special circumstances exist.

Base DN

This field allows you to enter a Distinguished Name for the unit which will be used as the main identifier during (non-anonymous bind) LDAP sessions. An example Base DN value might be: “dc=cxunoip,dc=com”

User field

Enter the LDAP database field that will be used to match each user name against. The details entered here will depend on the specific LDAP database being used - ‘uid’ or ‘cn’ are commonly used values.

Anonymous Bind

If left unchecked then bind requests are sent with username (Base DN) and password (more suitable for Active Directory applications).

If checked, bind requests are anonymous (more suitable for Linux LDAP implementations).
