Configuring system settings 37 Configuring LDAP settings Configure LDAP settings Follow these procedures to configure LDAP settings. To add an LDAP server definition to the Control Center 1 In the Control Center, click Settings > LDAP. 2 Click Add. 3 Complete the necessary fields presented for defining a new LDAP Server. The values you complete will depend on your choices for LDAP Server Usage. See Table 2-4 on page 38. for a description of the available settings when adding an LDAP server to the Control Center. 4 Click Save. Warning: When adding an LDAP server that performs synchronization, you can replicate data from the Control Center to attached and enabled Scanners using the Replicate now button on the Control Center Settings page. Begin this replication only after initial synchronization has completed successfully as shown on the LDAP Synchronization page, and the number of rejected entries is 0 or stays constant after successive synchronization changes. If synchronization has not completed successfully, a status of Failed appears on the LDAP Synchronization page. Error messages recorded in the logs detail the cause of the failure. Alternatively, you can wait until the next scheduled replication occurs, at which time the LDAP synchronization service updates all Scanners. Warning: If you see the Failed to create user mappings for source error during source creation and you have recently changed DNS servers, restart your LDAP synchronization service. See "Starting and stopping UNIX and Windows services" on page 213.. Then, follow the above steps again. Note: If your LDAP service runs on the Linux operating system, restart LDAP synchronization by logging in and issuing the following command: service ldapsync restart.
