Using the CMC Directory Service 315
CMC can be configured to optionally query a DNS server for SRV records. If
the cfgLDAPSRVLookupEnable property is enabled the cfgLDAPServer
property is ignored. The following query is used to search the DNS for SRV
records:
_ldap._tcp.domainname.com
ldap in the above query is the cfgLDAPSRVLookupServiceName property.
cfgLDAPSRVLookupDomainName is configured to be domainname.com.
Usage
To login to CMC using an LDAP user, use the username at the login prompt
and the user's password at the password prompt. If a LDAP user cannot be
logged in for any reason, CMC falls back and attempts to use a local login
with the same username and password. This allows a login if network
connectivity is broken or the LDAP server is not reachable.
Getting Help
CMC's tracelog contains some information on why a user may fail to login. To
triage LDAP login failures, it is recommended to use the racadm
testfeature -f LDAP command with the debugging turned on.
