LDAP Authentication and Access Control Query
types
You can make three different types of requests:
•
To administer the console switch
•
To administer users of a serial console switch
•
To set up a remote console session with a server (target device)
In LDAP Authentication and Access Control mode, the console switch forwards these requests, or query
types, to the domain controller.
Query modes
The domain controller authenticates the user, but you determine how the domain controller handles
authorization for each type of query. There are three authorization options:
•
Basic mode (should only be used to test LDAP or console switch settings)
Description
User sends request to console switch to access server
Console switch sends ID and password to domain
controller
Directory authenticates and authorizes
