The first step is to configure the LDAP server, which serves as a backend database to store user
credentials of the wireless clients. In this example, the Microsoft Windows 2012 Essentials server
is used as the LDAP server.

The first step in the configuration of the LDAP server is to create a user database on the LDAP
server so that the WLC can query this database to authenticate the user.

An Organizational Unit (OU) contains multiple groups that carry references to personal entries in a
PersonProfile. A person can be a member of multiple groups. All object class and attribute
definitions are LDAP schema default. Each group contains references (dn) for each person that
belongs to it.

In this example, a new OU LDAP-USERS is created, and the user User1 is created under this OU.
When you configure this user for LDAP access, the WLC can query this LDAP database for user
authentication.

The domain used in this example is CISCOSYSTEMS.local.

This section explains how to create a new OU in your domain and create a new user on this OU.

Open Windows PowerShell and type servermanager.exe

1.

In the Server Manager window, click on AD DS. Then right-click your server name to choose
Active Directory Users and Computers.

2.

Right-click your domain name, which is CISCOSYSTEMS.local in this example, and then
navigate to New > Organizational Unit from the context menu in order to create a new OU.
