Figure 9-21 Configure LDAP client wizard
After configuring the LDAP client, a user can be added to the SDMC by clicking
Create user account on the Welcome page (Figure 9-18 on page 224). You
must instruct the Create User Account wizard to use LDAP as the authentication
method by clicking the Authentication type drop-down menu and selecting
LDAP. You do this task because SSH access to the SDMC is only possible with a
user defined to the base operating system. Therefore, you should also define a
SSH timeout to that user while creating it. The Pluggable Authentication Modules
(PAM), a modular user authentication method on Linux and other operating
systems) on the base operating system then uses LDAP for user authentication
and authorization.
