FIPS mode configuration B Setting up LDAP for FIPS mode 1. Log in to the switch using an account with admin or securityadmin permissions, or an account with OM permissions for the RADIUS and switch configuration RBAC classes of commands. 2. Enter the dnsConfig command to configure the DNS on the switch. Example of setting the DNS switch:admin> dnsconfig Enter option 1 Display Domain Name Service (DNS) configuration 2 Set DNS configuration 3 Remove DNS configuration 4 Quit Select an item: (1..4) [4] 2 Enter Domain Name: [] domain.com Enter Name Server IP address in dot notation: [] 123.123.123.123 Enter Name Server IP address in dot notation: [] 123.123.123.124 DNS parameters saved successfully Enter option 1 Display Domain Name Service (DNS) configuration 2 Set DNS configuration 3 Remove DNS configuration 4 Quit Select an item: (1..4) [4] 4 Specify the DNS IP address using either IPv4 or IPv6. This address is needed for the switch to resolve the domain name to the IP address because LDAP initiates a TCP session to connect to your Microsoft Active Directory server. A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is needed to validate the server identity as mentioned in the common name of the server certificate. 3. Set the switch authentication mode and add your LDAP server by using the commands shown in the following example. Provide the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Microsoft Active Directory server for the host name parameter while configuring LDAP. Example of setting up LDAP for FIPS mode switch:admin> aaaconfig --add GEOFF5.ADLDAP.LOCAL -conf ldap -d -p 389 -t 3 switch:admin> aaaconfig --authspec "ldap;local" switch:admin> aaaconfig -show RADIUS CONFIGURATIONS RADIUS configuration does not exist. adldap.local LDAP CONFIGURATIONS Position Server Port Domain Timeout(s) : 1 : GEOFF5.ADLDAP.LOCAL : 389 : adldap.local : 3 Primary AAA Service: LDAP Secondary AAA Service: Switch database Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 619 53-1002745-02
