Directory User

N/A

This parameter enables you to specify up to three

Context 1,

 

searchable contexts used to locate the user when

Directory User

 

the user is trying to authenticate using the

Context 2,

 

directory. Directory User Contexts are limited to

Directory User

 

128 characters each. Directory User Contexts

Context 3

 

enable you to specify directory user containers that

 

 

are automatically searched when an RILOE II login

 

 

is attempted. This eliminates the requirement of

 

 

entering a fully distinguished user name at the

 

 

login page. For example, the search context,

 

 

"ou=lights out devices,o=corp" would allow the

 

 

user "cn=manager,ou=lights out devices,o=corp"

 

 

to log in to RILOE II using just "manager." Active

 

 

Directory allows an additional search context

 

 

format, "@hostname" for example,

 

 

"@directory.corp."
