LDAP
LDAP allows authentication of SLC users using a wide variety of LDAP servers, such as
OpenLDAP and Microsoft Active Directory. The LDAP implementation supports LDAP servers that
do not allow anonymous queries.
The system administrator can configure the SLC console manager to use LDAP to authenticate
users attempting to login using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port. Users who are
authenticated through LDAP are granted device port access through the port permissions. All
LDAP users are members of a group that has predefined user rights associated with it. You can
add additional user rights that are not defined by the group.
