– Static server — Specify the FQDN or IP address and the LDAP port number.
– DNS server — Specify the DNS server to retrieve a list of LDAP servers by searching for their
SRV record within the DNS.
The following DNS query is performed for SRV records:
_[Service Name]._tcp.[Search Domain]
where <Search Domain> is the root level domain to use within the query and <Service
Name> is the service name to use within the query.
For example:
_ldap._tcp.dell.com
where ldap is the service name and dell.com is the search domain.
4. Click Apply to save the settings.
NOTE: You must apply the settings before continuing. If you do not apply the settings, the
settings are lost when you navigate to the next page.
5. In the Group Settings section, click a Role Group.
6. On the Configure LDAP Role Group page, specify the group domain name and privileges for the role
group.
7. Click Apply to save the role group settings, click Go Back To Configuration page, and then select
Generic LDAP.
8. If you have selected Certificate Validation Enabled option, then in the Manage Certificates section,
specify the CA certificate to validate the LDAP server certificate during SSL handshake and click
Upload. The certificate is uploaded to CMC and the details are displayed.
9. Click Apply.
The generic LDAP directory service is configured.
Configuring Generic LDAP Directory Service Using RACADM
To configure the LDAP directory service, use the objects in cfgLdap and cfgLdapRoleGroup RACADM
groups.
There are many options to configure LDAP logins. In most of the cases, some options can be used with
their default settings.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the racadm testfeature -f LDAP command to test the
LDAP settings for first time setups. This feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The required property changes include enabling LDAP logins, setting the server FQDN or IP, and
configuring the base DN of the LDAP server.
•$ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPEnable 1
•$ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPServer 192.168.0.1
•$ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPBaseDN dc=
company,dc=com
CMC can be configured to optionally query a DNS server for SRV records. If the
cfgLDAPSRVLookupEnable property is enabled, the cfgLDAPServer property is ignored. The following
query is used to search the DNS for SRV records:
_ldap._tcp.domainname.com
ldap in the above query is the cfgLDAPSRVLookupServiceName property.
