LDAP Server Configuration

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a protocol that allows you to enable authentication
of your KMS Server based on a central directory of users, rather than the local users and groups
defined on each device. To use LDAP with the KMS Server, you need an LDAP server available such
as MS Active Directory, Netscape Directory Server or OpenLDAP. You should also be familiar with
the schema defined by that server.

NOTE:

If you set up the KMS Server to use LDAP for users and groups, those users and groups are
case-

insensitive. For example, a user ID of JohnSmith can also be used throughout the system as

johnsmith. This is different from most other parts of the system where upper and lower case are treated
differently.

Passwords for both local users and LDAP users must not contain the less than character (<).

The LDAP Server Configuration page of the Management Console describes the configuration of the
LDAP server and its schema.

This page contains the following sections:

LDAP User Directory Properties
LDAP Schema Properties
LDAP Failover Server Properties

LDAP User Directory Properties

Use the LDAP User Directory Properties section to define the basic properties of the LDAP server.
