5.4.4.5 LDAP/E-Directory Settings
The
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/E-Directory
Settings
is an application protocol for querying and modifying data
of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
In MegaRAC GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that MegaRAC®
card can use to authenticate users. If you have an LDAP server
configured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add,
manage and authenticate MegaRAC® card users. This is done by
passing login requests to your LDAP Server. This means that there is
no need to define an additional authentication mechanism, when
using the MegaRAC card. Since your existing LDAP Server keeps an
authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing
the network resources and can easily define the user or group-
based policies to control access.
