Chapter Four : Using Your MegaRAC® G4 29
LDAP Settings
This page allows you to access the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Server and authentication information and LDAP Settings information.
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. It does this 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 authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing network
resources and can easily define user/group-based policies to control access.
Use the following fields to authenticate and access the LDAP server.
Item Description
Enable LDAP
Authentication Check this box to enable LDAP authentication through an LDAP server.
Port Enter the port address of your LDAP server. A common port used by LDAP
is port 389.
IP Address Type in the IP address of your LDAP server.
Bind Password The Bind Password specifies the password for the MegaRAC card to use
when binding to your LDAP server.
Bind DN Type the Bind DN name in the Bind Distinguished Name field. The Bind DN
is required if anonymous binds are not allowed on your LDAP server.

search base, to perform an LDAP search. Type in your search base name
