  Novell authentication

Novell NDS configuration

When setting up Novell NDS authentication on the 

Authentication

 tab, the 

Search Root

 text box is

typically left blank. Then, on the MFP configuration 

Authentication

 tab, information is provided

about the 

Default NDS Tree

 and 

Default NDS Context

. When users log in at the device, the default

NDS tree and context are shown on the login screen, and the user can edit them if necessary.

Novell Bindery configuration

When setting up Novell Bindery authentication on the 

Authentication

 tab, the 

Search Root

 text box

is also typically left blank. Then, on the MFP configuration 

Authentication

 tab, information is

provided about the 

Default Bindery Server

. When users log in at the device, the default bindery

server appears on the login screen, and the user can edit it if necessary.

LDAP authentication

LDAP is a standard, extensible directory-access protocol. It is a common language that LDAP clients
and servers use to communicate with each other. LDAP is a message-oriented protocol. The client
constructs a message that contains a request and sends it to the server. The server processes the
request and sends back the result in a series of LDAP messages. LDAP is also a connection-
oriented protocol. The client opens a connection and performs any number of operations on the
same connection.

For the LDAP server bind method, LDAP authentication uses either the Simple or the Simple over
SSL method. See 

Table 3-4 Authentication bind methods

.
