D.15 LDAP configuration
The Wizard DXS - Digital can optionally use the industry standard LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to allow user
authentication to occur in conjunction with an externally held database. This screen allows you to configure details related to the
creation of an LDAP link to an external directory service, such as an Active Directory server.
To get here
1 Using VNC viewer or a browser, log on as
the ‘admin’ user.
2 Click the ‘Configure’ button in the top
right corner.
3 Click the ‘LDAP Configuration’ option.
Use LDAP
Tick this option to enable the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol features of the unit.
Host Address
Enter the IP address of the LDAP server that holds the required directory service.
Host Port
The standard port address for LDAP links is 389 and this should not need to be changed unless special circumstances exist.
Base DN
This field allows you to enter the top level of the LDAP directory tree at which to start an LDAP search. An example Base DN value
might be: “dc=catx,dc=com”
User field
Enter the LDAP database field that will be used to match each user name against. The details entered here will depend on the
specific LDAP database being used - ‘uid’ or ‘cn’ are commonly used values.
Anonymous Bind
If left unchecked then bind requests are sent with username (Base DN) and password (more suitable for Active Directory
applications). If checked, bind requests are anonymous (more suitable for Linux LDAP implementations).
