LDAP
The system administrator can configure the EMG to use LDAP to authenticate users attempting to
log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port.
LDAP allows EMG unit users to authenticate using a wide variety of LDAP servers, such as
OpenLDAP and Microsoft Active Directory. The LDAP implementation supports LDAP servers that
do not allow anonymous queries.
Users who are authenticated through LDAP are granted device port access through the port
permissions on this page.
All LDAP users are members of a group that has predefined user rights associated with it. You can
add additional user rights that are not defined by the group.
To configure the EMG unit to use LDAP to authenticate users:
1. Click the
User Authentication
tab and select
LDAP
