Generic LDAP Directory Service
iDRAC6 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.
To make the iDRAC6 LDAP implementation generic, the commonality
between different directory services is utilized to group users and then map
the user
-group relationship. The directory service specific action is the
schema. For example, they may have different attribute names for the group,
user, and the link between the user and the group. These actions can be
configured in iDRAC6.
