Viewing The Server Directory; Managing Global Directory Servers; Configuring A New Directory Server - Extreme Networks Ridgeline Guide Manual

Using Identity Management
If the connection succeeds, the second server is marked Active and all further LDAP requests are
●
sent to the second server and so on.
Configuring LDAP server settings internally, deploys the settings to all Identity Management enabled
switches. If you add LDAP server settings without Identity Management enabled switches, later when
you enable Identity Management, Ridgeline uses the configured server settings for deployment.

1 Go to Folder List>Ridgeline Administration>ID Management: Network Users>Directory servers tab.
2 Choose the Servers tab which lists the servers.
