LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch

Configure the Override Admin Account

Should a network failure occur, an account is provided that may be used

regardless of the unit’s ability to authenticate against an LDAP server. Before

configuring other settings, this account should be configured.

NOTE:

You must be logged in as Admin with no password to perform this operation.

To configure the Override Admin Account in the on-board web interface:

1 Click the Configure tab, then click Users - Override Admin.
2 Type the username and password you wish to assign to the user and then

verify the password by typing it in the

Verify Password field.

3 Click Save.

Configuring DNS Settings

Before the LDAP client can resolve names, at least one DNS server must be

specified.
The Network sub-category displays the name of the Remote Console Switch

and allows you to change the network settings including the IP address,

Subnet Mask, Gateway, LAN speed and DHCP/BootP setting. The name

displayed for the Remote Console Switch will be the same as the name given

in the System Name field in the SNMP category.
The Network sub-category allows the entry and maintenance of up to three

DNS Servers. These DNS servers are used to resolve DNS names provided on

the LDAP authentication panel.

NOTE:

At least one DNS server must be configured for the LDAP feature to work.

NOTE:

You can also set DNS server addresses using the appliance’s serial

administrative interface. For information about using the serial administrative

interface, please consult your appliance documentation.

To configure the DNS settings in the on-board web interface:

1 Click the Configure tab, then click Remote Console Switch - Network.
2 Specify the DNS settings and click Save.
