Configuring LDAP

LDAP is a vendor-independent protocol standard used for accessing, querying and updating a
directory using TCP/IP. Based on the X.500 Directory Services model, LDAP is a global directory
structure that supports strong security features including authentication, privacy and integrity.
If individual user accounts are stored on an LDAP-enabled directory service, such as Active
Directory, you can use the directory service to authenticate users. The default values given for the
LDAP search and query parameters are defined for use with Active Directory.
The settings made in the OBWI let you configure your authentication configuration parameters.
The software sends the username, password and other information to the appliance, which then
determines whether the user has permission to view or change configuration parameters for the
appliance in the OBWI.
