Field Description
Enable LDAPs If selected, makes LDAP requests between the Nortel
SNAS 4050 and the LDAP server occur over a secure SSL
connection (LDAPS). The default is not selected.
Note: The default TCP port number used by the LDAP
protocol is 389. If LDAPS is enabled, change the port
number to 636.
Search Base Entry Specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) that points to one
of the following:
• the entry that is one level up from the user entries (does
not require a Bind ISD DN and Bind ISD Password)
• if user entries are located in several places in the LDAP
Dictionary Information Tree (DIT), the position in the
DIT from where all user records can be found with a
subtree search (requires Bind ISD DN and Bind ISD
Password)
Group Attribute Specifies the LDAP attribute that contains the names of the
groups. The group names contained in the LDAP attribute
must be defined in the Nortel SNAS 4050 domain (see
“Configuring groups using the SREM” on page 208).
To specify more than one group attribute name, enter the
names separated by a comma (,).
