LDAP Configuration

Figure 2-32 LDAP Configuration Button
The lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) configuration feature allows the user to set and
configure authentications for the switch. The LDAP service resides on a server that has access to a user
code and password database.
On a SFS 7012 with LDAP enabled, when a user attempts to login to either Chassis Viewer or the CLI,
the LDAP client intercepts the login attempt and rather than authenticating internally, encrypts and
packages the information in an LDAP packet and sends it to a pre-configured LDAP server over TCP/IP
(i.e., the out of band LAN). The LDAP server receives the request, passes it on to the authentication
services, and responds to the client with a yes or no, either allowing or denying the user access to the box.
When LDAP is disabled internal authentication becomes the default.
To setup LDAP authentication:
From the menu, select Maintenance.
