Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) function provides central authentication of login
credentials in addition to any local users.
Note: Users that are authenticated on the LDAP server are granted user-level permissions.
Before you use this function, you must first configure the LDAP settings to match the server.
To configure the LDAP settings, select the User's node under Management in the system tree. The
configuration wizard includes the following settings:
Host This setting is the LDAP server. It must be resolvable without using LDAP. Multiple hosts might
be specified, each separated by a space.
Base DN
This setting is the distinguished name (DN) of the search base.
Port (Optional) This setting is the port that is used to connect to the LDAP server. The default setting
uses port 389 for TLS or no encryption, or port 636 for SSL encryption. If you use a different port,
make sure to specify it in this field.
Bind DN
(Optional) This setting is the distinguished name that is used for binding to the LDAP server. If
left in the default setting, the storage system tries to bind anonymously.
Bind Password
(Optional) This setting is the password that the LDAP server uses to authenticate the “Bind DN”
when the storage system tries to bind.
Timeout

Bind Timeout
