LDAP/E-directory Settings This page allows you to set the LDAP/E-directory Settings. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) networks. If you have an LDAP server configured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add, manage and authenticate MegaRAC® card users. This is done by passing login requests to your LDAP Server. This means that there is no need to define an additional authentication mechanism, when using the MegaRAC® card. Since your existing LDAP Server keeps an authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing the network resources and can easily define the user or group-based policies to control access. • General Settings Enable LDAP/E-Directory Authentication Encryption Type Enable or disable LDAP/E-Directory Authentication. Select the LDAP/E-Directory encryption type (No encryption, SSL, StartTLS). If SSL is enabled a port number should be configured. Common Name Type Check to set IP Address or FQDN as common name type. FQDN option only appears when Encryption Type is set to StartTLS. Server Address Enter LDAP/E-Directory server address. • IPV4 and IPV6 address formats are supported by LDAP/E-Directory Server Address. • When using StartTLS with FQDN please enter the FQDN address. Port Set LDAP/E-Directory port. • Default port is 389. • The default port for SSL connections is 636. • Port value ranges from 1 - 65535. • Port 80 is blocked for TCP/UDP protocols.
