6.11.17 Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol supported by the
BMC for the purpose of authentication and authorization. The BMC user connects with an LDAP
server for login authentication. This is only supported for non-IPMI logins including the
embedded web UI and SM-CLP. IPMI users/passwords and sessions are not supported over
LDAP. LDAP can be configured (IP address of LDAP server, port, and so on) using the BMC’s
Embedded Web UI. LDAP authentication and authorization is supported over the any NIC
configured for system management. The BMC uses a standard Open LDAP implementation for
Linux*. Only open LDAP is supported by BMC. Microsoft Windows* and Novell* LDAP are not
supported.
