LDAP Parameter Setup
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and
modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. The WSG starts an LDAP session by con-
necting to an LDAP server. Then it sends operation requests to the server, and the server sends
responses in return.
An LDAP directory is a tree of directory entries and follows the structure below:
•
An entry consists of a set of attributes.
•
An attribute has a name and one or more values.
Each entry has a unique name; the distinguished name (DN). DN consists of its relative dis-
tinguished name (RDN) constructed from some attribute(s) in the entry, followed by the parent
entry's DN. Think of the DN as a full filename and the RDN as a relative filename in a folder.
An entry can look like this:
dn: cn=John Ericson,dc=company,dc=com
cn: John Ericson
givenName: John
sn: Ericson
telephoneNumber: +1 888 555 6789
mail: john@company.com
dn is the name of the entry; it is not an attribute nor part of the entry. "cn=John Ericson" is the en-
try's RDN, and "dc=company, dc=com" is the DN of the parent entry. The other lines show the at-
tributes in the entry. Attribute names are typically mnemonic strings, like "cn" for common name,
"dc" for domain component, "mail" for e-mail address and "sn" for surname. .
1)
Click the LDAP settings link.
2)
In the LDAP Server or Proxy Address field, enter the IP address or DNS address to the
LDAP server.
3)
In the Port Number field, enter the port number used by the LDAP server.
4)
In the Authentication Method drop down list, select how to authenticate to the LDAP serv-
er.
If the authentication method SASL/DIGEST-MD5 is selected, the IP address for pri-
mary DNS server must be entered in the DNS server field on the Network setup page.
Otherwise it is not possible to authenticate with the LDAP directory Microsoft Active Di-
rectory 2003.
5)
In the User name field, enter the user name used for logging on to the LDAP server. It is a
good idea to create a new user in the domain with access for the LDAP server.
6)
In the Password field, enter the password used for logging on to the LDAP server.
7)
In the Search Base DN field, enter the user entries' parent DN. (The distinguished name for
all users common entry.)
8)
In the Number attribute field, enter the name of the attribute that holds the telephone num-
bers.
