Configuring LDAP

Using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, a Remote Supervisor
Adapter II can authenticate a user by querying or searching an LDAP directory on
an LDAP server, instead of going through its local user database. Then, all Remote
Supervisor Adapter IIs can remotely authenticate any user access through a central
LDAP server. This requires LDAP client support on the Remote Supervisor Adapter
II. You can also assign authority levels according to information that is found on the
LDAP server.
You can also use LDAP to assign users and Remote Supervisor Adapter IIs to
groups and perform group authentication, in addition to the normal user (password
check) authentication. For example, a Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be
associated with one or more groups, and a user would pass group authentication
only if the user belongs to at least one group that is associated with the Remote
Supervisor Adapter II.
Note: LDAP-based authentication for PPP sessions is not supported.
