Directory Settings screen

LDAP is a protocol for accessing information directories. While LDAP is based on the X.500 standard, it is significantly simpler than this standard. LDAP also supports TCP/IP and is an open protocol.

NOTE: The Onboard Administrator LDAP feature supports Microsoft® Active Directory using the memberOf attribute. Novell eDirectory is also supported with the groupMembership attribute. OpenLDAP is not supported.

Use the Directory Settings screen to set directory access for the currently selected enclosure.
