The AAA server can be a Active Directory, LDAP, or RADIUS server. Use the AAA Server screens to create and manage objects that contain settings for using AAA servers. You use AAA server objects in configuring ext-group-user user objects and authentication method objects. 8.7.15.1 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read this section. Directory Service (AD/LDAP) LDAP/AD allows a client (the NXC5200) to connect to a server to retrieve information from a directory. A network example is shown next. Figure 234 Example: Directory Service Client and Server The following describes the user authentication procedure via an LDAP/AD server. 1 A user logs in with a user name and password pair. 2 The NXC5200 tries to bind (or log in) to the LDAP/AD server. 3 When the binding process is successful, the NXC5200 checks the user information in the directory against the user name and password pair. 4 If it matches, the user is allowed access. Otherwise, access is blocked. 284 ENC User's Guide
