Configuring an LDAP server
If you are using an LDAP server for authentication, make the following preparations first:
• Have the IP address of the server available.
• Know the TCP port you are using. The LDAP server uses Transport Layer Security (TLS). LDAP
over TLS generally uses port 389. Check with the LDAP server administrator if you are not sure
which port to specify.
• Know how long you want to wait between attempts (default is 3 seconds) to reach the server if
it is busy. This is expressed as a timeout value in seconds. Values are between 1 and 15.
• Determine how many attempts (default is 3 times) to make to reach the server before stopping
and assuming it is unreachable. Values are between 1 and 5.
To configure an LDAP server for authentication, complete the following steps.
1. Select the Authentication tab.
2. Select LDAP Server from the Primary Authentication list.
