About LDAP Support

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol used to access and maintain directory information services.
In addition to selecting LDAP as the server type, you must also complete the following steps for LDAP-based authentication to work on the controller.
  1. Edit the LDAP configuration file on the LDAP server to include the service user name.

  2. On the controller web interface, select Administration >Administration> Admins and Roles > Administrators, and click Create to create an administrator account with super as the user name.
    Note: Refer to Creating Administrator Accounts. In this example, LDAP can use User2 only.
  3. Select Administration>Administration > Admins and Roles > Groups and assign an administrator role to the super administrator account.
    Note: Refer to Creating User Groups.
  4. When you add an AAA server for administrators, select LDAP as the authentication server type.
    Note: Refer to Configuring SZ Admin AAA Servers.
  5. Test the LDAP server using the account username@super-login.
    Note: The value of super-login depends on the realm configured for the AAA profile. Refer to Creating Administrator Accounts.
