About the LDAP Configuration Interface
The LDAP Configuration Interface (LCI) consists of an LDAP interface in the
RSA RADIUS Server and an LDAP virtual schema. The LDAP virtual schema
enables the LDAP interface to translate LDAP requests into a format that can be
understood by the RSA RADIUS Server database.
Figures 25 illustrates the relationship between LDAP components.

LDAP Utilities
Freeware LDAP utilities, such as ldapsearch , ldapmodify , and
ldapdelete , act as clients of the LDAP interface. LDAP utilities let you read
and modify an LDAP database.
X ldapsearch – The ldapsearch utility locates and retrieves LDAP
directory entries. The ldapsearch utility opens a connection to an LDAP
interface using the specified distinguished name and password, binds, and
locates entries based on the specified search filter. A search can return a
single entry, an entry's immediate subentries, or an entire tree or subtree.
Search results are returned in LDIF format.
X ldapmodify – The ldapmodify utility adds or modifies entries in an
existing LDAP directory. ldapmodify opens a connection to an LDAP
interface using the distinguished name and password you supply, binds, and
adds or modifies the entries based on the LDIF update statements contained
