LDAP/E-Directory Settings

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/E-Directory Settings is an application

protocol for querying and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP)

networks.

In Web GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that BMC can use to authenticate users. If you have

anLDAPserverconguredonyournetwork,you can use it as an easy way to add, manage

and authenticate BMC 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

BMC. 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.
