Configuring LDAP

Using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, the IMM can
authenticate a user by querying or searching an LDAP directory on an LDAP
server, instead of going through its local user database. Then, the IMM can
remotely authenticate any user access through a central LDAP server. This requires
LDAP client support on the IMM. You can also assign authority levels according to
information that is found on the LDAP server.
You can also use LDAP to assign users and IMMs to groups and perform group
authentication, in addition to the normal user (password check) authentication. For
example, an IMM can be associated with one or more groups, and a user would
pass group authentication only if the user belongs to at least one group that is
associated with the IMM.
