LDAP Server Settings

LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an Internet protocol that email and other programs use to look up for information from a server.

Figure 7: LDAP Server Settings

Note: To configure the LDAP Server settings, user have to click the Edit button to enable all the fields.

You can configure the following settings:

  • Host: Port: Enter the Hostname or IP address of your LDAP server. Enter the Port number used for LDAP communication (389 by default). If your server is an Active Directory Global Catalog server, you can specify port 3268 for a plain connection, or port 3269 for SSL.
  • Base Domain: A base domain is a point from where a server will search for users. For example, dc=ldap, dc=cavisson, dc=com.
  • Enable user authentication: You can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to authenticate users. Specify user roles by using group DNs for users who log in as an Administrator, Operator, or as a Viewer. The system has only one admin user and one operator. Click the check box to enable this.
  • Bind Domain: An LDAP client transmits a BIND request to a server to change the authorization state of the client connection. A Bind Domain is blinded by LDAP to permit user to do whatever you are trying to do. When a client first connects to an LDAP directory server, the server sets the authorization state of the connection to unauthenticated. For example, cn=admin, dc=ldap, dc=cavisson, dc=com.
  • Password:It is the field for the password of the binding domain where the specific user wants to perform some operation.
  • Enable communication over secure protocol: Secure LDAP (LDAPS) allows you to enable the Secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol for your Active Directory managed domains to provide communication over SSL (Secure Socket Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security). By default, LDAP communications between client and server applications are not encrypted. Click the check box to enable this.
