LDAP/E-Directory
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for query-
ing and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) net-
works.
In MegaRAC GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that MegaRAC® card can use to authenticate
users. If you have an LDAP server configured on your network, you can use it as an easy
way to add, manage and authenticate MegaRAC® card users. This is done by passing login
requests to your LDAP Server. This means that there is no need to define an additional
authentication mechanism, when using the MegaRAC card. Since your existing LDAP
Server keeps an authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing the net-
work resources and can easily define the user or group-based policies to control access.
