4.4.4 LDAP/E-Directory
The
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
is an application protocol for querying
and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) networks. If
you have an LDAP server congured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add,
manage and authenticate MegaRAC
®
card users. This is done by passing login requests to
your LDAP Server. This means that there is no need to dene an additional authentication
mechanism, when using the MegaRAC
®
card. Since your existing LDAP Server keeps an
authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing the network resources and
can easily dene the user or group-based policies to control access.

Configuration > LDAP
