If you configure the external LDAP server as the primary authentication server, make the
following preparations first:
• Make sure that the external LDAP server and its user accounts have been properly
configured (refer to “Creating an AD user account” on page 159). For example, you must
define roles and areas of responsibility (AOR) in the external server to match the
Management application roles and AOR.
• Make sure to configure the custom attributes “NmRoles” and “NmAors” on the LDAP
server (refer to “Configuring roles and AORs on the external LDAP server” on page 160).
NmRoles defines the Management application user roles (such as Host Administrator, IP
System Administrator, Network Administrator, Operator, Report User Group, SAN System
Administrator, Security Administrator, Security Officer, and Zone Administrator). NmAors
defines the areas of responsibility (such as, All Fabrics, All IP Products).
3. Add or edit a LDAP server by referring to “Configuring an LDAP server” on page 300.

• Network Address—The network address of the LDAP server.
• Authentication Type—The authentication type (such as, CHAP).
• Security—Whether or not security is enabled.
• TCP Port—The TCP port number of the LDAP server.
• TimeOut (Sec)—The timeout value in seconds specified when sending an authentication
request to the server. Default is 3.
• Attempts—The number of attempts made to reach a server before determining it is
unreachable. Default is 3.
4. Rearrange the LDAP servers in the table by selecting a server and click the Up or Down button
to move it.
5. Delete a LDAP server by selecting the server and click Delete.
