authentication can only be used if the

 

 

 

 

 

Content Server has been added to a

 

 

 

 

 

domain. If you add the Content Server

 

 

 

 

 

to an existing domain, you need to

 

 

 

 

 

define a separate security policy for the

 

 

 

 

 

Content Server, otherwise the existing

 

 

 

 

 

security policies may prevent it from

 

 

 

 

 

functioning correctly. Contact your

 

 

 

 

 

authorized Cisco reseller or partner for

 

 

 

 

 

details of the recommended security

 

 

 

 

 

policy settings. The recommended

 

 

 

 

 

authentication mode for a cluster is

 

 

 

 

 

domain authentication.

 

 

 

 

 

LDAP: LDAP authentication does not

 

 

 

 

 

require the Content Server to be added

 

 

 

 

 

to a domain. Before changing

 

 

 

 

 

authentication from Local to LDAP, the

 

 

 

 

 

site manager must add at least one

 

 

 

 

 

LDAP user with the site manager role to

 

 

 

 

 

the Content Server. To do this, go to

 

 

 

 

 

Management Settings > Groups and

 

 

 

 

 

users and select Add groups or

 

 

 

 

 

users. Enter at least one valid

 

 

 

 

 

username in Site manager role. Under

 

 

 

 

 

LDAP authentication local users cannot

 

 

 

 

 

log in using the standard login method.

 

 

 

 

 

However, the local administrator can log

 

 

 

 

 

in by adding #page:login&rescue:true to

 

 

 

 

 

the end of the Content Server URL in

 

 

 

 

 

the browser.

Port

Port 389 is the default port for most

 

 

 

 

 

Domain Controllers. Global Catalog

 

 

 

 

 

Servers may use port 389 or 3268.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Base DN

The search base which the Content Server

The Content Server searches the object

 

 

 

 

uses to search for user records. (DN =

specified and any objects beneath it.

 

 

 

 

Distinguished Name)

The Base DN is a unique name for this

 

 

 

 

 

container. It typically consists of OU,

 

 

 

 

 

CN, and DC components.

 

 

 

 

 

Base DN examples:

 

 

 

 

 

OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com

 

 

 

 

 

OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=co

 

 

 

 

 

mpany,DC=com

 

 

 

 

 

In this example, OU ‘marketing’ is

 

 

 

 

 

contained within the OU ‘employees’;

 

 

 

 

 

therefore,

 

 

 

 

 

OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com

 

 

 

 

 

identifies all employees including the

 

 

 

 

 

Marketing department and
