Adding LDAP Users
You can integrate LDAP with your OpenManage Network Manager installation in the Portal
Settings > LDAP tabs. LDAP-added users cannot log into OpenManage Network Manager’s Java
Client, and can only use the web portal.
CAUTION:
Before enabling an LDAP server in the Portal, you must create and assign one user from the LDAP server
as the Portal administrator. You cannot access the Control Panel without a user with the administrator
role. See Creating an LDAP Admin User below for details.
Make sure Import at Startup is turned off and in Password Policies, edit the default password policy
and make sure that
Change Required is off.
NOTE:
Notice that several test buttons appear in the LDAP screens, for example, Test LDAP Connection. Use
these to validate your entries as you make them.
Click Add under LDAP Servers to add the specifications of your LDAP server. After configuring
your LDAP server, restart the OpenManage Network Manager server, and attempt to log in as an
LDAP user.
