LDAP Data Structure
An LDAP directory stores information in a tree structure known as the
Directory Information Tree (DIT).
The nodes in the tree are directory
entries, and each entry contains information in attribute-value form. An
example of the LDAP directory tree is shown in the figure below.
DIT Creation
The
LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF)
is used to represent LDAP
entries in a simple text format (please refer to RFC 2849). The figure
illustrates an LDIF file that creates the DIT for the KVM directory tree.
The following figure illustrates an LDIF file that defines the
OpenLDAP group for the KVM:
Using the New Schema
To use the new schema, do the following:
1. Save the new schema file (e.g., B022-U08-IP.schema) in the
/
OpenLDAP/ schema/
directory.
2. Add the new schema to the
slapd.conf
file, as shown in the figure:
3. Restart the LDAP server.
4. Write the LDIF file and create the database entries in
init.ldif
with
the
ldapadd
command, as shown in the following example:
ldapadd
-f init.ldif -x -D “cn=Manager,dc=tripplite,dc=com” -w secret
Log Server Settings
Also included in the
ANMS
screen are settings that are required for the
Windows-based log server;
MAC Address
and
Port
. If these settings are
not entered correctly, the log server will not be able to communicate
with and pull log information from the KVM switch.
• MAC Address:
Enter the MAC address of the computer that the
Windows-based log server was installed on here.
• Port:
Enter the firewall access port being used to communicate with
the Windows-based log server here.
