• Whether to use secure LDAP
• The authentication server IP address
The following must also be configured:
• An account for admin.
• If LDAP authentication is specified for the console server, accounts for all users who need to
log into the console server to administer connected devices.
• If LDAP authentication is specified for serial ports, accounts for users who need administrative
access to the connected devices.
To configure an LDAP authentication server:
Perform this procedure to configure an LDAP authentication server when the console server or any
of its ports are configured to use the LDAP authentication method or any of its variations (LDAP,
LDAP/Local or LDAPDownLocal).
1. Select Expert - Security - LDAP. The LDAP screen appears with LDAP Server and LDAP
Base fields filled in from with the current values in the /etc/ldap.conf file.
2. Enter the IP address of the LDAP server in the LDAP Server field.
3. If the LDAP authentication server uses a different distinguished name for the search base than
the one displayed in the LDAP Base field, change the definition.
The default distinguished name is dc, as in dc=value,dc=value. If the distinguished name on
the LDAP server is
o, then replace dc in the base field with o, as in o=value,o=value.
4. Replace the default base name with the name of your LDAP domain.
For example, for the LDAP domain name avocent.com, the correct entry is:
dc=avocent,dc=com.
5. Enable Secure LDAP, if required.
6. (Optional) Enter information in LDAP User Name, LDAP Password and LDAP Login
Attribute fields.
7. Click apply changes. The changes are stored in /etc/ldap.conf on the console server.
