52 UltraLink 2 DVI Installation and Operation Manual
Refresh:
The Refresh button refreshes the list of entries in the log.
Syslog Server IP Address:
The UL2-DVI has the ability to transmit log entries as they occur to a remote computer running a Syslog
server. The Syslog Server IP Address field holds the IP address of the Syslog server computer.
LDAP Configuration
The LDAP Configuration Screen is accessed by clicking the LDAP Configuration button on the Configuration
Screen. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol allows users to log to the unit with their network credentials.
LDAP configuration should be performed with the guidance of the network administrator.
When the unit’s LDAP implementation is enabled, the administrator does not have to set up User Accounts,
except for the admin account. Authentication of the admin user is handled locally by the unit even when LDAP
is enabled.
Figure 64. LDAP Configuration Screen
Use LDAP:
This checkbox allows use of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol for authenticating user log in requests.
When the box is not checked (the default), log in requests are authenticated against locally stored usernames
and passwords.
Host Address:
This field should contain the IP address of the LDAP server used to authenticate the user name and password
entered at the Login User Authentication Screen (Figure 12).
Host Port:
The standard network port number for LDAP connections is 389, which is used by default. This should only
need to be changed in special circumstances.
Base DN:
In this field enter the top level of the LDAP directory tree at which an LDAP search should start. If, for example,
the server’s domain name is “rose.com”, the Base DN would be “dc=rose,dc=com”.
