LDAP Configuration

To start configuration of the LDAP server log in to the WebTool and select System Management. In the System Management menu under Service Configuration there will be a new option, LDAP Configuration; Select it.

The LDAP Database menu will be empty prior to any databases being created. A new database must be created at this point. Click Create Database.

A new window will open containing the Create LDAP Database menu. Each field must be completed for the database to be created.

Domain

The Domain for this database should be the domain the server is located on. This domain will be used for the LDAP database's Distinguished Name. For example, if corp.guardiandigital.com is entered in as the Domain then the Distinguished Name (DN) would be dc=corp,dc=guardiandigital,dc=com.

Company Name

The Company Name should be the name of the company that this database will be associated with. This Company Name will be stored in the main database entry when the database is created.

Password

This is the password that will be required when the LDAP database needs to be bound to for full access. A strong password is recommended for this.

Once all of these fields have been completed, click Create Database. It will take a few moments for the database to be created. Once it has been completed the database will appear in the LDAP Database menu.

You can edit a database by clicking the Edit link located to the left of the respective database. When clicked a new window will appear containing the Edit LDAP Database properties. This menu resembles the Create LDAP Database menu with the added ability to delete the database.
