Chapter 6 Configuring authentication 255

/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/ldap

followed by:

enaldaps truefalse

If true, makes LDAP requests between the Nortel

 

SNAS 4050 and the LDAP server occur over a secure

 

SSL connection (LDAPS). The default is false. Retain

 

the default value or reset to false.

 

Note: The default TCP port number used by the LDAP

 

protocol is 389. If LDAPS is enabled, change the port

 

number to 636.

 

 

enauserpre truefalse

Enables or disables storage of user preferences in an

 

external LDAP/Active Directory database.

 

true — storage and retrieval of user preferences

 

is enabled. When the client logs out from a portal

 

session, the Nortel SNAS 4050 saves any user

 

preferences accumulated during the session in the

 

isdUserPrefs attribute. The next time the client

 

successfully logs on through the portal, the Nortel

 

SNAS 4050 retrieves the LDAP attribute from the

 

LDAP database.

 

false — storage and retrieval of user preferences

 

is disabled.

 

To support storage and retrieval of user preferences,

 

you must extend the LDAP server schema with one

 

new ObjectClass and one new Attribute. For more

 

information, see Appendix E, “Adding User

 

Preferences attribute to Active Directory,” on page 883.

 

The default is false.

 

 

timeout <interval>

Sets the timeout interval for a connection request to an

 

LDAP server. At the end of the timeout period, if no

 

connection has been established, authentication will

 

fail.

 

interval is an integer that indicates the time

 

interval in seconds (s), minutes (m), or hours (h). If

 

you do not specify a measurement unit, seconds is

 

assumed. The range is 1–10000 seconds. The

 

default is 5 seconds.

 

 

activedire

Accesses the Active Directory menu, in order to

 

manage client passwords (see “Managing Active

 

Directory passwords using the CLI” on page 260).
