External User Services
This page allows you to set the LDAP/E-directory Settings, Active directory Settings, and
RADIUS Settings.
LDAP/E-directory Settings
This page allows you to set the LDAP/E-directory Settings. The
Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP)
is an application protocol for querying and modifying data of
directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) networks. If you have an LDAP server
configured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add, manage and authenticate
MegaRAC
®
card users. This is done by passing login requests to your LDAP Server. This
means that there is no need to define an additional authentication mechanism, when using
the MegaRAC
®
card. Since your existing LDAP Server keeps an authentication centralized,
you will always know who is accessing the network resources and can easily define the user
or group-based policies to control access.
Active directory Settings
This page allows you to set the Active directory Settings. An active directory does a variety
of function including the ability to provide the information on objects, helps organize these
objects for easy retrieval and access, allows access by users and administrators, and allows
the administrators to set security up for the directory.
RADIUS Settings
This page is used to enable or disable RADIUS authentication and enter the required
information to access the RADIUS server.
