9.2 External User Services
LDAP/E‐Directory Settings
The
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/E-Directory Settings
is an application
protocol for querying and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP)
networks.
In web GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that BMC can use to authenticate users. If you have an
LDAP server configured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add, manage and
authenticate BMC users. This is done by passing login requests to your LDAP Server. This means
that there is no need to define an additional authentication mechanism when using the BMC. Since
your existing LDAP Server keeps an authentication centralized, you will always know who is
accessing the network resources and can easily define the user or group- based policies to control
access.
