LDAP Authentication

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a network protocol for accessing
and manipulating information stored in a directory. It is suitable for using with
information that must be easily available and accessible, and does not change
frequently. AirLink devices support LDAP version 3.
To configure LDAP:
1. Go to Services > Authentication.
2. In the LDPA Client field, select Enable.
Figure 8-18: ACEmanager: Services > Authentication > LDAP
3. Configure the other fields as described in the following table.
Field
LDAP Server
Port
Timeout (seconds)
Description
LDAP server IP address or resolvable domain name
By default, LDAP uses TCP port 389
The time limit for the server to respond
•
1–60 seconds
Default is 30 seconds.
Note: If the server does not respond during the timeout (no
route to host, server down, network too slow etc.), the
authentication fails and the next enabled authentication
mechanism checks the credentials.
