LDAP
Your Connect EZ device supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), a protocol used for
directory information services over an IP network. LDAP can be used with your Connect EZ device for
centralized authentication and authorization management for users who connect to the device. With
LDAP support, the Connect EZ device acts as an LDAP client, which sends user credentials and
connection parameters to an LDAP server. The LDAP server then authenticates the LDAP client
requests and sends back a response message to the device.
When you are using LDAP authentication, you can have both local users and LDAP users able to log in
to the device. To use LDAP authentication, you must set up a LDAP server that is accessible by the
Connect EZ device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a LDAP server varies by the server
environment.
