Enter the primary and secondary server IP address of Directory servers in the IP Address fields. Each
address can be entered in numeric form or by specifying a symbolic name that is registered in the DNS

NOTE: Entering information into the Secondary Server IP Address field is optional.
Enter the UDP port numbers that are used to communicate with the LDAP servers in the Port ID fields. The
default value is 389 for non-secure LDAP and 636 for secure LDAP. The HP IP Console Viewer
automatically enters the Port ID when an Access Type is specified.

button. Selecting the LDAP radio button sends plaintext, while the LDAPS radio button sends LDAP over

communication between a console switch and the LDAP server, select the LDAPS radio button.
NOTE: LDAPS is only valid if the directory server is configured for LDAPS.
