HP IP Console Switch directory service setup
This section is intended as a tutorial to familiarize you with the LDAP directory functionality of the HP IP
Console Switch. It walks you through the steps to set up an HP IP Console Switch to work with a
Microsoft® Active Directory server in group attribute mode, in which users, interface adapters, and HP IP
Console Switches are members of the same group, and authenticate only mode, in which the directory is
used only to validate the use and access controls managed in the HP IP Console Switch. A mode to use
for testing communications with the directory server is explained as well.
NOTE: The reader is expected to understand the concepts of LDAP directories and how to use Microsoft®
Active Directory tools. This document is not intended to explain LDAP directories.
Hardware configuration used for this example
• HP IP Console Switch
• Windows Server™ 2003 Domain Controller
