LDAP Attributes and Server Selection

Active Directory provides lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) service to Ridgeline.
The following lists LDAP role match criteria you can assign to the switch:
Employee ID
●
Title
●
Email Address
●
Department
●
Company
●
Locality
●
State
●
Country
●
When Active Directory is queried, if it fails to respond, the next configured Active Directory server is
contacted. If this succeeds, all further LDAP queries are sent to this LDAP server. All LDAP servers
should be configured to synchronize the user information available in each of them.

Enabling Monitoring on Switches and Ports

To enable monitoring on devices, do the following:
1 Go to Ridgeline Administration>ID management: Network users. Click the Network-Users devices
tab. Ridgeline lists the available devices, switches and ports. See
