Authentication
If you are using LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory 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 for more
information on the LDAP certificate.
User Attribute This defines the name of the attribute used to communicate the user name to
the server.
Options:
zOpenLDAP(uid)—Chose this option if you are using an OpenLDAP
server. The user attribute on this server is “uid”.
zMicrosoft Active Directory(sAMAccountName)—Chose this option if
your LDAP server is a Microsoft Active Directory server. The user
attribute on this server is “sAMAccountName”.
zOther—If you are running something other than a OpenLDAP or
Microsoft Active Directory server, you will have to find out from your
system administrator what the user attribute is and enter it in this field.
Default: OpenLDAP(uid)
Encrypt Passwords
Using MD5 digest
Checking this parameter will cause the IOLAN to encrypt the password using
MD5 digest before sending it to server. If this option is not checked, the
password is sent to the server in the clear.
Default: Disabled
Authenticate
IOLAN with LDAP
server
This option will cause the Terminal Server to authenticate with the LDAP
server before the user authentication takes place. The user name/password to
use for this authentication is configured below.
Default: Disabled
Name The user name associated with the IOLAN
Append Base to
Name
When checked, this causes the domain component configured in the “base”
parameter to be appended to the user name. This allows for a fully qualified
name to be used when authenticating the IOLAN.
Default: Enabled but if the base parameter is not configured, it does not
modify the name.
Confirm You must enter the exact same value as the password field. Since the password
is not echoed, this ensures that the field was entered correctly.
Default: Blank
Enable TLS Enables/disables the Transport Layer Security (TLS) with the LDAP/Microsoft
Active Directory host.
Default: Disabled.
TLS Port Specify the port number that LDAP/Microsoft Active Directory will use for
TLS.
Default: 636
