LDAP
The
Configuration > LDAP
page allows the setup and maintenance of settings required to enable LDAP support.
Enabling or disabling LDAP support:
Select
Enabled
or
Disabled
from the LDAP drop-down menu and click
Apply.
Configuring the authentication order:
Select
Remote > Local
or
Remote Only
from the drop-down menu and click
Apply.
NOTE:
Server Technology recommends not setting the authentication order to Remote Only until LDAP has been configured and tested.
Setting the LDAP server address:

Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted in the Primary/Secondary Host fields.
Changing the LDAP server port:

Setting the LDAP bind type:
The CDU supports three standard LDAP bind methods:
Simple:
Uses unencrypted delivery of username-password over the network to the LDAP server for authentication,
showing user credentials in plain text.
TLS/SSL:
(LDAP over TLS/SSL) Uses a trusted authority certificate to provide encryption of LDAP authentication.
MD5:
Provides strong protection using 1-way hash encoding that does not transmit the username-password over the
network.
From the Bind Type drop-down menu, select Simple, TLS/SSL, or MD5, and click
Apply.
NOTE:
If LDAP over TLS/SSL is enabled, MD5 binding is disabled.
