Configuring the LDAP Parameters on the iBMC

Scenario

Configure the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) function on Configuration > LDAP of the iBMC WebUI.

The LDAP function enables domain users to access the iBMC.

• A common function of LDAP is to provide a central repository for user names and passwords, which allows different applications and services to connect to the LDAP server to validate users.
• The iBMC only provides an access interface for LDAP users; therefore this section does not include the procedure of configuring domain controllers, user domains, and LDAP users. For details, see the user guide of the domain controller you use.
