•
User Search Base: ou=Employees
•
Group Search Filter: uniquemember

If the user name testuser is used to log in to LMC, then the user can be authenticated if each of the
following is true:
–
The distinguished name uid=testuser,ou=Employees,o=MyOrganization is found in the
directory.
–
The distinguished name cn=Dept A,ou=Groups,o=MyOrganization or
cn=Dept C,ou=Groups,o=MyOrganization is found in the directory and contains the attribute
uniquemember: uid=testuser,ou=Employees,o=MyOrganization.
–
The object class is groupOfNames .
–
The correct password is supplied for the user.

Select an authentication method:
•
If the LDAP server accepts anonymous connections, then select Anonymous.
•
If the LDAP server requires authentication, then do the following:
a
Select the Username option.
b
In the Username field, type a distinguished name used to log on to the LDAP server, such as
uid=ldapuser,ou=Employees,o=MyOrganization.
c
Type the password associated with the selected user name.

If you want to test the connection settings, then click Test Settings.
Note: If the LDAP server accepts anonymous connections but you want to authenticate with a user name and
password, then the test cannot determine whether the user name and password are correct. If the test reports
an anonymous connection when you have chosen to use a user name and password, then you should check the
user name and password.
10
In the Search Base field, type the distinguished name where the directory search should begin, such as
o=MyOrganization.
11
Click Save Settings.
Assigning privileges to groups
You can add access control to users accessing LMC. This feature allows you to restrict system access to authorized
groups. The Privileges settings depend on the role assigned to the user.
Notes:
•
You need to add a group first before defining privileges. By default, the Default Group is already added to the
group list. This group has access to all tabs and tasks of LMC. The administrator can modify the privileges of the
default group.
