OSD for All User Types 495
Configuring Authentication [OSD]
An administrative user can enter information in the following two fields, but
an entry is not required:
• The LDAP password
• The LDAP user name
Work with the LDAP server’s administrator to ensure that the following types
of accounts are set up on the LDAP server and that the administrators of the
OnSite and connected devices know the passwords assigned to the accounts:
• An account for “admin”
• If LDAP authentication is specified for the OnSite, accounts for all users
who need to log in to the OnSite to administer connected devices.
• If LDAP authentication is specified for KVM ports, accounts For users
who need administrative access all administrative users
(won’t they need to be root users?)
1. In the OSD, go to Configure>Authentication.
2. Select LDAP.
The LDAP Server IP screen appears with the field filled in from the
current value in the /etc/ldap.conf file.
3. Supply the IP address of the LDAP server in the LDAP Server IP field
and press Enter.
The LDAP Domain Name (Search base) screen appears with field filled in
from the current value in the /etc/ldap.conf file.
4. If the LDAP authentication server uses a different distinguished name for
the search base than the one displayed in the LDAP Domain Name field,
change the base definition.
The default distinguished name is “dc,” as in dc=value,dc=value. If
the distinguished name on the LDAP server is “o,” then replace dc in the
base field with o, as in o=value,o=value.
5. Replace the default base name with the name of your LDAP domain.
For example, for the LDAP domain name cyclades.com, the correct entry
is: dc=cyclades,dc=com.
6. Fill in the other screens according to your local setup of the LDAP server.
7. Click Save once you are done with the last screen.
