Configuring generic LDAP directory service using iDRAC web-based interface

1. In the iDRAC Web interface, go to iDRAC Settings > Users > Directory Services > Generic LDAP Directory Service, click Edit.
   The Generic LDAP Configuration and Management Step 1 of 3 page displays the current generic LDAP settings.
2. Optionally, enable certificate validation and upload the digital certificate used during initiation of SSL connections when communicating with a generic LDAP server.
   NOTE In this release, non-SSL port based LDAP bind is not supported. Only LDAP over SSL is supported.
3. Click Next.
   The Generic LDAP Configuration and Management Step 2 of 3 page is displayed.
4. Enable generic LDAP authentication and specify the location information about generic LDAP servers and user accounts.
   NOTE If certificate validation is enabled, specify the LDAP Server’s FQDN and make sure that DNS is configured correctly under iDRAC Settings > Network.

   NOTE In this release, nested group is not supported. The firmware searches for the direct member of the group to match the user DN. Also, only single domain is supported. Cross domain is not supported.
5. Click Next.
   The Generic LDAP Configuration and Management Step 3a of 3 page is displayed.
6. Click Role Group.
   The Generic LDAP Configuration and Management Step 3b of 3 page is displayed.

   NOTE If you are using Novell eDirectory and if you have used these characters—#(hash), "(double quotes), ;(semi colon), > (greater than), , (comma), or <(lesser than)—for the Group DN name, they must be escaped.
   The role group settings are saved. The Generic LDAP Configuration and Management Step 3a of 3 page displays the role group settings.
8. If you want to configure additional role groups, repeat steps 7 and 8.
9. Click Finish. The generic LDAP directory service is configured.
