Chapter 6 Agentless Host Support Configuration Scenario

Basic Configuration Steps for Agentless Host Support

•UserObjectClass—The value of the LDAP objectType attribute that identifies the record as a user. Often, user records have several values for the objectType attribute, some of which are unique to the user, some of which are shared with other object types. In the LDAP schema shown in Example 6-1, the user object class is specified as ieee802Device.

•GroupObjectType—The name of the attribute in the group record that contains the group name. In tIn the LDAP schema shown in Example 6-1, this is cn.

•GroupObjectClass—For MAB configuration, specify the name of a device record” that you have set up in your LDAP schema. For example, in Example 6-1, the group object class is

ieee802Device.

•GroupAttributeName—For MAB configuration, specify the name of the LDAP attribute that specifies a LDAP user group. For example, in Example 6-1, each member of a LDAP user group is specified in a uniqueMember attribute.

–Server Timeout—The number of seconds that ACS waits for a response from an LDAP server before determining that the connection with that server failed.

–On Timeout Use Secondary—Determines whether ACS performs failover of LDAP authentication attempts.

–Failback Retry Delay—The number of minutes after the primary LDAP server fails to authenticate a user that ACS resumes sending authentication requests to the primary LDAP server first. A value of zero (0) causes ACS to always use the primary LDAP server first.

–Max. Admin Connections—The maximum number of concurrent connections (greater than zero (0)) with LDAP administrator account permissions that can run for a specific LDAP configuration. These connections are used to search the directory for users and groups under the User Directory Subtree and Group Directory Subtree.
