Details
The Enter LDAP Settings page lets you create a new connection to
the LDAP directory to import inventory information.
A new LDAP source is one that was defined as a new source when
the import task was created.
If you want to use an existing connection, see
page > Search pre-configured LDAP source option" on page
To create a new connection to the LDAP directory:
1. Select Specify a new LDAP source from the drop-down list.
2. Fill in the following fields:
LDAP Server: Provide the IP address or DNS hostname of the
server that has LDAP directory installed.
LDAP Port: Select the LDAP port number. The default is
standard SSL port (636) or non-SSL port (389), depending on
whether this option is enabled or disabled. If your LDAP server
is listening on a different port, select that port number.
LDAP Root Context: Provide the root context to establish the
entry point in the directory. If you do not provide a root context,
the directory's root container becomes the entry point.
Credentials: Provide the credentials to acquire read-only
access to the directory. You can have more than read-only
access, but read-only access is all that is required and
recommended.
When accessing eDirectory, ensure that the account has read
rights to the following:
WM:NAME DNS attributes on the workstation and server
objects
All those attributes you want to import
To add the credentials:
a. Click Add to display the Enter Credential Information
dialog box.
b. In the Type drop-down list, select LDAP.
c. In the Username field, specify the appropriate username.
For Novell eDirectory access, use standard LDAP
notation. For example,
cn=admin_read_only,ou=users,o=mycompany
For Microsoft Active Directory access, use standard
domain notation. For example,
AdminReadOnly@mycompany.com
d. In the Password and Reenter Password fields, specify
the user password.
e. Click OK.
3. (Optional) To save the credentials, select the Save credentials
to datastore option.
The saved credentials are encrypted in the database for
increased security.
