Configuring LDAP Settings

Using the Web

Avaya P550R, P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide, v5.3.1
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) allows you to access
the "Access Control Lists"(ACLs), retrieve them from a database on
an LDAP server, and apply them to the Avaya P550R/P580/P880/
P882 Multiservice switches.
You can also:
View LDAP statistics for the switch
Configure a primary and secondary LDAP server
Configure a search base for the switch to contact in response to
an LDAP request.
Configuring a secondary server ensures that LDAP requests can be
fulfilled if a primary server fails. The LDAP client sends a search for
access control lists to the primary server if the client finds the
primary server. The primary server retrieves the access lists from the
LDAP database and returns them to the switch's LDAP client. If the
client does not find the primary server and if the primary server
does not respond after three retries, the client tries to connect to the
secondary server. If the secondary server fails after three retries, the
client times out. The LDAP client applies the access lists to manage
the way traffic is forwarded.
You can configure LDAP settings from either the Web Agent or the
CLI.
To configure LDAP settings from the Web Agent:
1. Select LDAP Configuration from the Routing > IP >
Configuration group on the Web Agent. The LDAP
Configuration dialog box opens (Figure 9-43).
