file_ldap Use these resources to manage the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) settings for the NAS Server. You can configure one LDAP settings object per NAS Server. LDAP is an application protocol for querying and modifying directory services running on TCP/IP networks. LDAP provides central management for network authentication and authorization operations by helping to centralize user and group management across the network. A NAS Server can use LDAP as a Unix Directory Service to map users, retrieve netgroups, and build a Unix credential.

Only one LDAP object per NAS Server is supported. base_DN Name of the LDAP base DN. Base Distinguished Name (BDN) of the root of the LDAP directory tree. The appliance uses the DN to bind to the LDAP service and locate in the LDAP directory tree to begin a search for information. The base DN can be expressed as a fully-qualified domain name or in X.509 format by using the attribute dc=. For example, if the fullyqualified domain name is mycompany.com, the base DN is expressed as dc=mycompany,dc=com. profile_DN For an iPlanet LDAP server, specifies the DN of the entry with the configuration profile. addresses The list of LDAP server IP addresses. The addresses may be IPv4 or IPv6. port_number The TCP/IP port used by the NAS Server to connect to the LDAP servers. The default port number for LDAP is 389 and LDAPS is 636. authentication_type Authentication type for the LDAP server. Anonymous Anonymous authentication means no authentication occurs and the NAS Server uses an anonymous login to access the LDAP-based directory server. Simple Simple authentication means the NAS Server must provide a bind distinguished name and 287
