Configuring the HMC so that it uses LDAP authentication
Configure your HMC so that it uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication.
Note: Before you configure the HMC so that it uses LDAP authentication,
you must ensure that a working network connection exists between the
HMC and the LDAP servers.
To configure your HMC so that it uses LDAP authentication,
do the following:
- In the Navigation area, click HMC Management.
- In the Contents area, click LDAP Configuration. The LDAP Server Definition window opens.
- Select Enable LDAP.
- Define an LDAP server to use for authentication.
- Define the distinguished name tree, also known as the search base, for the LDAP server.
- Click OK.
Next, you must configure each remote user's profile so that
it uses LDAP remote authentication instead of local authentication.
