RMS Compact II LDAP Overview
The RMS Compact II
implements a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
client.
This allows the RMS Compact II unit to authenticate user logins to the Web
Management Interface (WMI) using an LDAP Directory.
If LDAP is used for authentication it is first consulted when a user attempts a login. If
the user is not found or access is denied by LDAP then the credentials are checked
against the RMS Compact II
internal user list.
Note!
Configuration of LDAP is an advanced topic and
requires existing knowledge of LDAP function and
setup (or access to personnel who do).
RMS Compact II LDAP Structure
In order for a RMS Compact II
unit to successfully authenticate a user for WMI login
it needs to be ‘pointed’ to a specific structure within a directory.
A unit is ‘pointed’ to this structure within a directory by specifying the
Unit Base DN
on the Network Setup – LDAP page.
The following Organisational Units will need to be created:
RMSCompact2 (this can be named anything)
RMSCompact2Administrators
RMSCompact2Controllers
RMSCompact2Viewers
See
(Page 49) for hierarchy details.
The following Groups will need to be created:
RMSCompact2AdminUsers
RMSCompact2ControlUsers
RMSCompact2ViewUsers
Note!
Groups referred to are groups as found in Active
Directory schema. However any implementation which
provides a group with a ‘members’ attribute may
function.
