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 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.
•
Username format.
•
User object class.
•
If the LDAP server contains many directory levels, a user DN search starting from the root directory can
take a long time. To improve efficiency, you can change the start point by specifying the search base DN.
To configure LDAP user attributes:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter LDAP server view.
3. Specify the user search base
DN.
4. (Optional.) Specify the user
search scope.
5. (Optional.) Specify the
username attribute.
6. (Optional.) Specify the
username format.
