Configuring LDAP
You can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to
authenticate SX users instead of local authentication. To configure
LDAP:
1. Choose Setup > Remote Authentication. The Remote
Authentication page opens, displaying an LDAP panel.
2. In the LDAP panel, click the LDAP button to enable LDAP
authentication.
3. Under Primary LDAP, type the IP address of the LDAP server and
the port it is listening on (default is 389) in the IP Address and Port
fields.
4. Type the root password to access the directory server/manager in
the Secret field. The name for this field depends on the Directory
Server. For example, Microsoft Windows Active Directory
®
refers to
the field as Password, while the SUN iPlanet directory server uses
Secret.
