Enter LDAP Settings page >
Specify a new LDAP source
option
The Enter LDAP Settings page lets you create a new connection to
the LDAP directory to import inventory information.
A new LDAP source is one that was defined as a new source when
the import task was created.
If you want to use an existing connection, see “Enter LDAP Settings
page > Search pre-configured LDAP source option” on page 97 .
To create a new connection to the LDAP directory:
1. Select Specify a new LDAP source from the drop-down list.
2. Fill in the following fields:
LDAP Server: Provide the IP address or DNS hostname of the
server that has LDAP directory installed.
LDAP Port: Select the LDAP port number. The default is
standard SSL port (636) or non-SSL port (389), depending on
whether this option is enabled or disabled. If your LDAP server
is listening on a different port, select that port number.
LDAP Root Context: Provide the root context to establish the
entry point in the directory. If you do not provide a root context,
the directory’s root container becomes the entry point.
Credentials: Provide the credentials to acquire read-only
access to the directory. You can have more than read-only
access, but read-only access is all that is required and
recommended.
When accessing eDirectory, ensure that the account has read
rights to the following:
Š
WM:NAME DNS attributes on the workstation and server
objects
Š
All those attributes you want to import
To add the credentials:
a. Click Add to display the Enter Credential Information
dialog box.
b. In the Type drop-down list, select LDAP .
c. In the Username field, specify the appropriate username.
For Novell eDirectory access, use standard LDAP
notation. For example,
cn=admin_read_only,ou=users,o=mycompany
For Microsoft Active Directory access, use standard
domain notation. For example,
AdminReadOnly@mycompany.com
d. In the Password and Reenter Password fields, specify
the user password.
e. Click OK .
3. (Optional) To save the credentials, select the Save credentials
to datastore option.
The saved credentials are encrypted in the database for
increased security.
