FIPS mode configuration
C
Specify the DNS IP address using either IPv4 or IPv6. This address is needed for the switch to
resolve the domain name to the IP address because LDAP initiates a TCP session to connect to
your Microsoft Active Directory server. A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is needed to
validate the server identity as mentioned in the common name of the server certificate.
3. Set the switch authentication mode and add your LDAP server by using the commands shown
in the following example. Provide the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Microsoft
Active Directory server for the host name parameter while configuring LDAP.
Example of setting up LDAP for FIPS mode
switch:admin> aaaconfig --add GEOFF5.ADLDAP.LOCAL -conf ldap -d adldap.local
-p 389 -t 3
switch:admin> aaaconfig --authspec "ldap;local"
switch:admin> aaaconfig –show
