userattr <names>
Refers to one of the following:
1. the LDAP attribute that contains the user name
used for authenticating a client in the domain
The default user attribute name is uid.
Do not use the
isdbinddn and isdbindpas
commands.
2. if the client’s portal logon name is different from the
RDN (for example, when using LDAP for
authentication towards Active Directory), the LDAP
attribute that is used in combination with the client’s
logon name to search the DIT
For example, a user record in Active Directory is
defined as the following DN:
cn=Bill Smith,
ou=Users, dc=example, dc=com. The
user record also contains the attribute
sAMAccountName=bill. The user’s login
name is
bill. If the user attribute is defined as
sAMAccountName, the user record for Bill Smith
will be found.
The
isdbinddn and isdbindpas parameters
are required so that the Nortel SNAS 4050 can
authenticate itself to the LDAP server, in order to
search the DIT.
isdbinddn <DN>
Specifies an entry in the LDAP server used to
authenticate the Nortel SNAS 4050 to the LDAP server,
so that the LDAP DIT can be searched.
The
isdBindDN corresponds to an entry created in
the Schema Admins account (for example,
cn=ldap
ldap, cn=Users, dc=example, dc=com).
Required for
searchbase and userattr
method 2.
isdbindpas <password>
Specifies the password used to authenticate the Nortel
SNAS 4050 to the LDAP server. The
isdbindpas is
the password, configured in the Schema Admins
account, for the entry referenced in isdBindDN.
Required for
searchbase and userattr
method 2.
