Configuring LDAP Using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, the IMM can authenticate a user by querying or searching an LDAP directory on an LDAP server, instead of going through its local user database. Then, the IMM can remotely authenticate any user access through a central LDAP server. This requires LDAP client support on the IMM. You can also assign authority levels according to information that is found on the LDAP server. You can also use LDAP to assign users and IMMs to groups and perform group authentication, in addition to the normal user (password check) authentication. For example, an IMM can be associated with one or more groups, and a user would pass group authentication only if the user belongs to at least one group that is associated with the IMM.

For more information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on page 9. 2. In the navigation pane, click Network protocols and scroll down to the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Client area of the page.
