Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.1 CLI | Reference Guide aaa authentication-server ldap | 47
Usage Guidelines
You configure a server before you can add it to one or more server groups. You create a server group for a specific
type of authentication (see “aaa server-group” on page 75).
Example
The following command configures and enables an LDAP server:
aaa authentication-server ldap ldap1
host 10.1.1.243
base-dn cn=Users,dc=1m,dc=corp,dc=com
admin-dn cn=corp,cn=Users,dc=1m,dc=corp,dc=com
admin-passwd abc10
key-attribute sAMAccountName
filter (objectclass=*)
enable
Command History
This command was available in ArubaOS 3.0.
Command Information
preferred-conn-
type
Preferred connection type. The default order of connection type
is:
1. ldap-s
2. start-tls
3. clear-text
The controller will first try to contact the LDAP server using the
preferred connection type, and will only attempt to use a lower-
priority connection type if the first attempt is not successful.
NOTE: You enable the allow-cleartext option before you select
clear-text as the preferred connection type. If you set clear-text
as the preferred connection type but do not allow clear-text, the
controller will only use ldap-s or start-tls to contact the LDAP
server.
