The Authentication details will vary based on the Authentication type
selected; however, all LDAP Authentication methods require the following
information:

Server

– The IP Address or DNS name (fully qualified domain name)

of the LDAP server.

The IP address can be used for Simple, Anonymous, and Kerberos-V5
authentication in non-SSL mode.

Domain

– The domain name that will be used to create the Realm in

IDM.

Base DN

– The Base Distinguished Name. This is the node in the

directory where the search for users will begin. For example, for the
domain "hp.com" the

Base DN

entry would be: dc=hp,dc=com

Authentication Description

Simple

Simple authentication, which is not very secure, sends the
LDAP server the fully qualified DN of the client (user) and
the client's clear-text password.

Digest-MD5

In Digest MD5, the server generates a challenge and the
client responds with a shared secret (password).

Kerberos-V5

Based on Internet standard security, Kerberos V5
authentication is used with either a password or a smart
card for interactive logon.

External-TLS

External authentication uses authentication services
provided by lower level network services such as TLS.

Anonymous

No authentication is required by LDAP server.
