Returning User Group Information
Use the information in this section to return User Group information (and assist with authorization) once
authentication is successful.
From LDAP/LDAPS
When an LDAP/LDAPS authentication is successful, the Legrand PDU determines the permissions for a
given user based on the permissions of the user's role. Your remote LDAP server can provide these user
role names by returning an attribute named as follows:
rciusergroup attribute type: string
This may require a schema extension on your LDAP/LDAPS server. Consult your authentication server
administrator to enable this attribute.
In addition, for Microsoft
®
Active Directory
®
, the standard LDAP memberOf is used.
From Microsoft Active Directory
Note: This should be attempted only by an experienced Active Directory
®
administrator.
Returning user role information from Microsoft's
®
Active Directory for Windows 2000
®
operating system
server requires updating the LDAP/LDAPS schema. See your Microsoft documentation for details.
1. Install the schema plug-in for Active Directory. See Microsoft Active Directory documentation for
