Configure Remote Authentication for LDAP

Refer to your LDAP server documentation for the full range of information that can be entered into this
LDAP dialog to fully support both E-mail applications and authentication using your LDAP server.
The path to the LDAP dialog is as follows:
At Your Workstation:
1. With the Authentication Configuration web page still running, click Configure next to the server you
wish to use for Authentication. If not still running, perform steps 2 and 3 below.
2. If the web page is not still running, open your Web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the
machine in the Address or Location field. Press Enter.
3. Click the Properties tab.
4. Click the Connectivity folder, then the Protocols folder, then the LDAP folder.
5. Select LDAP Directory.
6. Click LDAP Server, and under Server Information, enter the IP address (or host name) in the box
supplied. Note: If entering a fully qualified host name (for example, ldapserver.xerox.com), make sure
that the specified domain name matches the device's TCP/IP configuration (domain name shown
under DNS on the device's Configuration Report).
7. Enter the Port Number (default of 389).
8. If available, decide whether or not to use encryption (Authentication with SSL) when accessing the
LDAP server.
9. Specify the LDAP Server environment from the Server Application drop-down list.
10. If desired, enter the path to the LDAP objects to limit the LDAP search in the [Search Directory Root]
area. The entry should be in base DN format (for instance, ou=people, dc=xerox, dc=com).
11. For Login Name and Password, enter the machine's Login Name and Password (if required) in the
boxes provided. Note that, quite often, to simply supply address information for E-mail, no login is
required.
12. Enter your required number for Maximum Number of Search Results. This is the maximum number
of addresses that will appear which match the search criteria selected by the user.
13. Enter the required time to wait for Search Time-Out. Alternatively, you may select Wait LDAP Server
Limit.
14. Place a checkmark in the Referral box if you would like the server to refer to additional LDAP servers,
when user information is initially unavailable.
15. If using Referral, enter the number of additional servers to check for user information (Hop Limit).
16. For Search Name Order, select the method that you would like LDAP to use to perform searches.
17. Click Apply, and supply the Administrator User name and password if prompted.

LDAP User Mappings

You can click the LDAP User Mappings link to specify the attributes to search for within the LDAP
database. Make sure that any entries made in the Imported Heading boxes are in LDAP nomenclature.
For example, you would enter sn (surname) to search for the user's last name, and givenName to search
for the users first name. Enter cn (Common Name) to search for the most commonly used attribute (given
name joined to surname) to identify specific users within the LDAP system.
