Using directory services integration

Using LDAP

You have two options for using LDAP:
•
LDAP Authentication Only
•
LDAP Authentication and Access Control

LDAP Authentication Only mode

In LDAP Authentication Only mode, the domain controller authenticates the user name and password, but
access rights are still held on the console switch itself. So the console switch authorizes access. This solves
the problem of distributed password management on the console switches and provides Directory based
security.
