• Common Settings
• Server to use with LDAP:
– Static server — Specify the FQDN or IP address and the LDAP port number.
– DNS server — Specify the DNS server to retrieve a list of LDAP servers by searching for their SRV record within the
DNS.
The following DNS query is performed for SRV records:
_[Service Name]._tcp.[Search Domain]
where <Search Domain> is the root level domain to use within the query and <Service Name> is the service
name to use within the query.
For example:
_ldap._tcp.dell.com
where ldap is the service name and dell.com is the search domain.

NOTE: You must apply the settings before continuing. If you do not apply the settings, the settings are lost when
you navigate to the next page.

Conguring Generic LDAP Directory Service Using RACADM
To congure the LDAP directory service, use the objects in cfgLdap and cfgLdapRoleGroup RACADM groups.
There are many options to congure LDAP logins. In most of the cases, some options can be used with their default settings.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the racadm testfeature -f LDAP command to test the LDAP settings for
rst time setups. This feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The required property changes include enabling LDAP logins, setting the server FQDN or IP, and conguring the base DN of the
LDAP server.
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPEnable 1
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPServer 192.168.0.1
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPBaseDN dc=
company,dc=com
CMC can be congured to optionally query a DNS server for SRV records. If the cfgLDAPSRVLookupEnable property is enabled,
the cfgLDAPServer property is ignored. The following query is used to search the DNS for SRV records:
_ldap._tcp.domainname.com
ldap in the above query is the cfgLDAPSRVLookupServiceName property.
cfgLDAPSRVLookupDomainName is congured to be domainname.com.
