External Authentication Services
Overview
In addition to its own internal
Username / Password
authentication procedure,
the CC2000 supports authentication from external, third party authentication
services. If a third party service has been specified for a user, the CC2000
transfers the login information to the appropriate service for authentication
using an encrypted HTTPS (SSL) connection. The CC2000 supports the
following third party external authentication servers: LDAP, LDAPS, Active
Directory, RADIUS, , and Windows NT Domain.
Approved Services
The following services have been tested and approved for use with the
CC2000:
AD Server: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
LDAP: Microsoft Windows Server 2003; OpenLDAP
RADIUS: Microsoft IAS for Windows Server 2003; FreeRADIUS
: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (ClearBox)
Microsoft Windows NT Domain
LDAP/LDAPS – OpenLDAP Setting Example
In this example, the external server uses OpenLDAP; its IP address is
192.168.10.100; its service port is 389, and the server administrator has created
a file named:
cc2000ldap.ldif
in the OpenLDAP directory, that contains the
following:
dn: cn=cc2000,ou=software,dc=aten,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
cn: cc2000
sn: cc2000
userPassword: password
