Changing the LDAP configuration using a web browser

You can configure and change the LDAP settings using a web browser.

Click Network on the machine’s web page, and then click Protocol.

Choose the LDAP check box and then click Submit.

Restart the machine to activate the configuration.

Make sure the machine is turned on and then choose Advanced Setting on the Protocol page.

Now you can configure and change the following LDAP settings using a web browser.

•	Status
•	LDAP Server Address
•	Port (The default port number is 389.)
•	Search Root
•	Authentication
•	Username¹
•	Password¹
•	Kerberos Server Address¹
•	SNTP
•	Timeout for LDAP
•	Attribute of Name (Search Key)
•	Attribute of E-mail

¹	This selection will only be available depending on the authentication method used.

After setting, click Submit. Make sure that the Status is OK on the Test Result page.

Note

•

If the LDAP server supports Kerberos Authentication, we recommend to choose Kerberos for the Authentication setting. It provides strong authentication between the LDAP server and your machine.

You must configure the SNTP protocol (network time server), or you must set the date, time and time zone correctly on the control panel for Kerberos Authentication. (For information about setting SNTP, see Synchronize with SNTP server. For information about setting the date, time and time zone, see the Quick Setup Guide.)
