CHAPTER 5: Configuration

The LDAP Parameters Menu allows you to define the following parameters:

• Enable: Enables/disables LDAP authentication. (Default = Off.)

• Primary Host: Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters)

for the primary LDAP server. (Default = undefined.)

• Secondary Host: Defines the IP address or domain name (up to 64 characters)

for the secondary (fallback) LDAP server. (Default = undefined.)

• LDAP Port: Defines the port that will be used to communicate with the LDAP

server. (Default = 389.)

• TLS/SSL: Enables/Disables TLS/SSL encryption. Note that when TLS/SSL

encryption is enabled, the LDAP Port should be set to 636. (Default = Off.)

• Bind Type: Sets the LDAP bind request password type. Note that in the Text

Interface, when the Bind Type is set to "Kerberos," the LDAP menu will include

an additional prompt that is used to select Kerberos parameters. In the Web

Interface, Kerberos parameters are defined using the prompts at the bottom of

the menu. (Default = Simple.)

• Search Bind DN: The username that will be allowed to search the LDAP

directory. (Default = undefined.)

• Search Bind Password: The Password for the user who is allowed to search

the LDAP directory. (Default = undefined.)

• User Search Base DN: The directory location for user searches.

(Default = undefined.)

• User Search Filter: Selects the attribute that lists the user name. Note that this

attribute should always end with "=%S" (no quotes.) (Default = undefined.)

• Group Membership Attribute: Selects the attribute that list group

membership(s). (Default = undefined.)

• Group Membership Value Type: (Default = DN.)

• Fallback: Enables/Disables the LDAP fallback feature. When enabled,

the Outlet Managed PDU will revert to it’s own internal user directory (see

Section 5.5) if no defined users are found via the LDAP server. In this case,

port access rights will then be granted as specified in the default LDAP group.

(Default = Off.)
