Server User Manual

For example, in an existing Active Directory setup, a group of users may be part of the “UPS Admin” and
“Router Admin” groups. On the console server, these users will be required to have access to a group
“Router_Admin”, with access to port 1 (connected to the router), and another group “UPS_Admin”, with
access to port 2 (connected to the UPS). Once LDAP is setup, users that are members of each group will
have the appropriate permissions to access the router and UPS.
Currently, the only LDAP directory service that supports group provisioning is Microsoft Active Directory.
Support is planned for OpenLDAP at a later time.
To enable group information to be used with an LDAP server:
 Complete the fields for standard LDAP authentication including LDAP Server Address, Server
Password, LDAP Base DN, LDAP Bind DN and LDAP User Name Attribute
 Enter memberOf for LDAP Group Membership Attribute as group membership is currently only
supported on Active Directory servers
 If required, enter the group information for LDAP Console Server Group DN and/or LDAP
Administration Group DN
A user must be a member of the LDAP Console Server Group DN group in order to gain access to the
console and user interface. For example, the user must be a member of ‘MyGroup’ on the Active Server
to gain access to the console server.
Additionally, a user must be a member of the LDAP Administration Group DN in order to gain
administrator access to the console server. For example, the user must be a member of ‘AdminGroup’ on
the Active Server to receive administration privileges on the console server.
 Click Apply.
Ensure the LDAP service is operational and group names are correct within the Active Directory
