Users Guide

NOTE: When you use the Specify Server option, the host name in the certificate authority-signed certificate is not
matched against the name of the specified server. This is particularly useful if you are a CMC administrator, because
it enables you to enter a host name as well as an IP address.
After you enable the Specify Server option, you can specify an LDAP server and global catalog with IP addresses or fully qualified
domain names (FQDNs) of the servers. The FQDNs consist of the host names and the domain names of the servers.
To specify an LDAP server, type:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADDomainController <AD domain controller IP address>
To specify a Global Catalog server, type:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
cfgADGlobalCatalog <AD global catalog IP address>
NOTE: Setting the IP address as 0.0.0.0 disables CMC from searching for a server.
NOTE: You can specify a list of LDAP or global catalog servers separated by commas. CMC allows you to specify up
to three IP addresses or host names.
NOTE: LDAP or LDAPs that are not correctly configured for all domains and applications may produce unexpected
results during the functioning of the existing applications/domains.
2. Specify a DNS server using one of the following options:
• If DHCP is enabled on CMC and you want to use the DNS address obtained automatically by the DHCP server, type the following
command:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 1
• If DHCP is disabled on CMC, or if DHCP is enabled but you want to specify your DNS IP address manually, type following
commands:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 0
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServer1 <primary DNS IP address>
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgDNSServer2 <secondary DNS IP address>
The Extended Schema feature configuration is complete.
Configuring Generic LDAP Users
CMC provides a generic solution to support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-based authentication. This feature does not
require any schema extension on your directory services.
A CMC administrator can now integrate the LDAP server user logins with CMC. This integration requires configuration on both LDAP
server and CMC. On the LDAP server, a standard group object is used as a role group. A user who has CMC access becomes a member
of the role group. Privileges are still stored on CMC for authorization similar to the working of the Standard Schema setup with Active
Directory support.
To enable the LDAP user to access a specific CMC card, the role group name and its domain name must be configured on the specific
CMC card. You can configure a maximum of five role groups in each CMC. A user has the option to be added to multiple groups within the
directory service. If a user is a member of multiple groups, then the user obtains the privileges of all their groups.
For information about the privileges level of the role groups and the default role group settings, see Types of Users.
The following figure illustrates configuration of CMC with Generic LDAP.
