Configure directory-based authentication
You can configure the RSC to allow users to log in with their domain user names and passwords. You
need to specify which users of the intended groups must be members of in your directory to be allowed
to authenticate into the RSC. Being a member of any of the groups specified enables authentication.
Every authenticated user in the RSC has the same permission levels as the admin user.
Follow the steps in the next sections to configure directory-based authentication.
The RSC uses LDAPS (secure LDAP) to access the domain controllers. A root certificate that can verify
the LDAP server certificate needs to be added to the RSC. Refer to the Manage TLS certificates on page
11 section on how to add trusted certificates.
Configuring the domain controller address
Use this procedure to configure the domain controller address.
■
In the Server Host Name form field, enter the domain controller’s IP address or hostname. For
example, you might enter 18.2.3.4 or domaincontroller.mydomain.com. If DNS is set up
properly, entering only the domain name might be sufficient, for example, mydomain.com.
The default port for LDAPS is used. If a different port is needed, follow the IP address or hostname
with a colon and the port number, for example, myserver.mydomain.com:8123.
Configuring the base search entry
Use this procedure to configure the base search entry.
■
Enter a distinguished name (DN), of the base search entry in the Base DN form field.
This entry is the search root for users and groups in the domain. For example,
CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com
Configuring the groups allowed to authenticate
Use this procedure to configure the groups allowed to authenticate to the RSC.
