Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 71
Configuring and Managing Generic LDAP
iDRAC6 provides a generic solution to support Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP)-based authentication. This feature does not require any
schema extension on your directory services. For information on configuring
generic LDAP Directory Service, see "Generic LDAP Directory Service" on
page 176.
Standard Schema
Settings
Global Catalog Server Address 1-3 (FQDN or IP):
Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or the
IP address of the Global Catalog server(s). At least one of
the 3 addresses is required to be configured. iDRAC6
attempts to connect to each of the configured addresses
one-by-one until it makes a successful connection.
The Global Catalog server is required for standard schema
only in the case that the user accounts and the role groups
are in different domains.
Role Groups: Specifies the list of role groups associated with
iDRAC6.
Group Name: Specifies the name that identifies the role
group in the Active Directory associated with iDRAC6.
Group Domain: Specifies the group domain.
Group Privilege: Specifies the group privilege level.
These settings will be displayed only if the iDRAC has been
configured for use with a Standard Active Directory
Schema.
Select the Look Up Global Catalog Servers with DNS
option and enter the Root Domain Name to use on a DNS
lookup to obtain the Active Directory Global Catalog
Servers. When this option is selected, Global Catalog
Server Addresses 1-3 are ignored. iDRAC6 attempts to
connect to each of the addresses (first 4 addresses returned
by the DNS lookup) one by one until it makes a successful
connection. A Global Catalog server is required only for
Standard Schema in the case that the user accounts and the
role groups are in different domains.
