Authentication

LDAP

Overview

If you are using LDAP with TLS, you need to download a CA list to the IOLAN that includes the certificate authority (CA) that signed the LDAP certificate on the LDAP host by selecting Tools, Advanced, Keys and Certificates. See Keys and Certificates on page 242 for more information on the LDAP certificate.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Host Name

must either have been defined in the IOLAN’s Host Table before the last

 

reboot or be resolved by DNS. If you are using TLS, you must enter the same

 

string you used to create the LDAP certificate that resides on your LDAP

 

server.

Default: 389

authentication.
