Setting the LDAP server timeout period
If the device sends a bind or search request to an LDAP server without receiving the server's
response within the server timeout period, the authentication or authorization request times out.
Then, the device tries the backup authentication or authorization method. If no backup method is
configured in the ISP domain, the device considers the authentication or authorization attempt a
failure.
To set the LDAP server timeout period:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter LDAP server view.
3. Set the LDAP server
timeout period.
Configuring administrator attributes
To configure the administrator DN and password for binding with the LDAP server during LDAP
authentication:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter LDAP server view.
3. Specify the administrator
DN.
4. Configure the
administrator password.
Configuring LDAP user attributes
To authenticate a user, an LDAP client must complete the following operations:
1. Establish a connection to the LDAP server.
2. Obtain the user DN from the LDAP server.
3. Use the user DN and the user's password to bind with the LDAP server.
LDAP provides a DN search mechanism for obtaining the user DN. According to the mechanism, an
LDAP client sends search requests to the server based on the search policy determined by the LDAP
user attributes of the LDAP client.
The LDAP user attributes include:
•
Search base DN.
•
Search scope.
•
Username attribute.
