Additional Information

You will not be able to edit the fields until the checkbox "enable LDAP authentication" has been selected.
The BMC supports OpenLDAP and Active Directory.
The bind user and bind password are required, so anonymous binding is not supported.
Additional BaseDNs are not allowed.
Only LDAP URIs are supported, meaning you cannot use LDAPS. However, you can use LDAP over SSL. The GUI notes "A CA certificate and LDAP certificate are required. One or more are missing." and provides a link to the certificate import page on the BMC. Certificate import procedure is covered in How to configure SSL certificates on the BMC of the 7063-CR2 HMC. Once you have imported your certs, you can enabled the checkbox for secure LDAP with SSL.
Role groups can be configured after the LDAP configuration is completed.
