Configuration
5.8.7. LDAP Parameters
The RSM supports LADP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol,) which allows
authentication via the "Active Directory" network Directory Service. When LDAP is
enabled and properly configured, command access rights can be granted to new users
without the need to define individual new accounts at each RSM unit, and existing users
can also be removed without the need to delete the account from each RSM unit.
This type of authentication also allows administrators to assign users to LDAP groups,
and then specify which ports the members of each group will be allowed to access at
each RSM unit.
