User authentication

LDAP

Your IX14 device supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), a protocol used for directory

information services over an IP network. LDAP can be used with your IX14 device for centralized

authentication and authorization management for users who connect to the device. With LDAP

support, the IX14 device acts as an LDAP client, which sends user credentials and connection

parameters to an LDAP server. The LDAP server then authenticates the LDAP client requests and sends

back a response message to the device.

When you are using LDAP authentication, you can have both local users and LDAP users able to log in

to the device. To use LDAP authentication, you must set up a LDAP server that is accessible by the

IX14 device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a LDAP server varies by the server

environment.
