The IPv4 or IPv6 address or host name of the primary and secondary LDAP
servers. The secondary LDAP server will be used for authentication in the event
that the primary LDAP server cannot be reached.
Port
Number of the TCP port on the LDAP server to which the
EMG
talks. The default is
389
.
Base
The name of the LDAP search base (e.g., dc=company, dc=com). May have up to
80 characters.

format as LDAP Base. One example is
cn=administrator,cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com
Bind Password /
Retype Password
Password for a non-anonymous bind. This entry is optional. Acceptable characters
are
a-z
,
A-Z
, and
0-9

The maximum length is 127 characters.
Bind with Login
Select to bind with the login and password that a user is authenticating with. This
requires that the Bind Name contain the
$login
token, which will be replaced with
the current login. For example, if the Bind Name is
uid=$login,ou=People,dc=lantronix,dc=com
, and user
roberts
logs into the EMG, LDAP will bind with
uid=roberts,ou=People,dc=lantronix,dc=com
and the password
entered by roberts.
User Login Attribute
The attribute used by the LDAP server for user logins. If nothing is specified for the
user filter, the EMG unit will use "uid". For AD LDAP servers, the attribute for user
logins is typically "sAMAccountName".
Group Filter
Objectclass
The objectclass used by the LDAP server for groups. If nothing is specified for the
group filter, the EMG will use "posixGroup". For AD LDAP servers, the objectclass
for groups is typically "Group".
Group Member
Attribute
The attribute used by the LDAP server for group membership. This attribute may be
use to search for a name (ie, "msmith") or a Distinguished Name (ie,
"uid=msmith,ou=People,dc=lantronix,dc=com"). Select either Name or DN as
appropriate for the LDAP server. If nothing is specified for the group membership
attribute, the EMG unit will use "memberUID" for name and "uniqueMember" for
DN. For AD LDAP servers, the Group Membership Value is typically DN, with the
Group Membership Attribute of "member".
Group Member Value
The attribute used by the LDAP server for group membership. This attribute may be
use to search for a name (ie, "msmith") or a Distinguished Name (ie,
"uid=msmith,ou=People,dc=lantronix,dc=com"). Select either Name or DN as
appropriate for the LDAP server. If nothing is specified for the group membership
attribute, the EMG will use "memberUID" for name and "uniqueMember" for DN.
For AD LDAP servers, the Group Membership Value is typically DN, with the Group
Membership Attribute of "member".

access) from an Active Directory server's scheme via the user attribute 'Secure
LantronixPerms' (see details below). Disabled by default.
Active Directory
Support
Select to enable. Active Directory is a directory service from Microsoft that is a part
of Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. It is LDAP- and Kerberos-
compliant. Disabled by default.
