Novell NDS External User Database Options
78-13751-01, Version 3.0
You create and maintain configurations for Novell NDS database authentication
on the NDS Authentication Support page in Cisco Secure ACS. This page enables
you to add a configuration for a Novell NDS tree, change existing tree
configurations, and delete existing tree configurations in a single submission to
the Cisco Secure ACS web server. Cisco Secure ACS displays information for
each tree configured, plus a blank section for creating a tree. The configuration
items presented for each tree are as follows:
Add New Tree—Appears only on the blank form for new trees. Selecting this
•
check box confirms that you want to add a new tree.
Delete Tree—Appears only on existing tree configurations. Selecting this
•
check box indicates that you want to delete the tree configuration when you
click Submit.
•
Test Login—Selecting this check box causes Cisco Secure ACS to test the
the tree's administrative login to the Novell server when you click Submit.
•
Tree Name—Appears only on the blank form for new trees. The name of the
Novell NDS tree against which Cisco Secure ACS should authenticate users.
•
Administrator Username—The fully qualified, typeless username for the
administrator of the Novell server. For example:
admin.Chicago.Corporation
•
Administrator Password—The password for the administrator of the Novell
server.
•
Context List—The full context list with each context specified in canonical,
typeless form; that is, remove the
context using a period (.). You can enter more than one context list. If you do,
separate them with a comma. For example, if your Organization is
Corporation, your Organization Name is Chicago, and you want to enter two
Context names, Marketing and Engineering, you would type:
Engineering.Chicago.Corporation, Marketing.Chicago.Corporation
You do not need to add users in the Context List box.
Users can provide a portion of their context when they login. For more
