A client starts an LDAP session by connecting to an LDAP/LDAPS server (the default TCP port is 389). The client then sends operation requests to the server, and the server sends responses in turn.
Page 103 LDAP database you want to begin searching for user information. Up to 64 characters can be used. An example base search value might be: cn=Users,dc=raritan,dc=com. Consult your authentication server administrator for the appropriate values to enter into these fields.
Page 104 Chapter 5: User Management 11. If you entered a Distinguished Name for the Administrative User, you must enter the password that will be used to authenticate the Administrative User's DN against the remote authentication server. Enter the password in the Secret Phrase field and again in the Confirm Secret Phrase field (up to 128 characters).
Page 105 Chapter 5: User Management 14. The default Secure LDAP Port is 636. Either use the default port or specify another port. This field is only used when the Enable Secure LDAP checkbox is selected. 15. Select the Enable LDAPS Server Certificate Validation checkbox to use the previously uploaded root CA certificate file to validate the certificate provided by the server.

Chapter 5: User Management 2. On your Active Directory server, create new groups with the same group names as in the previous step. 3. On your AD server, assign the KX II-101-V2 users to the groups created in step 2. 4.
Page 108 Chapter 5: User Management The timeout is the length of time the KX II-101-V2 waits for a response from the RADIUS server before sending another authentication request. 9. The default number of retries is 3 Retries. This is the number of times the KX II-101-V2 will send an authentication request to the RADIUS server.
Page 109: Returning User Group Information Via Radius
Your remote RADIUS server can provide these user group names by returning an attribute, implemented as a RADIUS FILTER-ID. The FILTER-ID should be formatted as follows: Raritan:G{GROUP_NAME} where GROUP_NAME is a string denoting the name of the group to which the user belongs.
