Configuring LDAP server settings

You can set the LDAP base Distinguished Name (base DN). LDAP records are structured in a hierarchical tree. You access records through a particular path, in this case, a Distinguished Name, or DN. The base DN indicates where in the LDAP directory hierarchy you want to start your search.

Note:

For Veritas Access to access an LDAP directory service, you must specify the LDAP server DNS name or IP address.

To set the base DN for the LDAP server

To set the base DN for the LDAP server, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set basedn value
```
where value is the LDAP base DN in the following format:
```
dc=yourorg,dc=com
```

To set the LDAP server hostname or IP address

To set the LDAP server hostname or IP address, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set server value
```
where value is the LDAP server hostname or IP address.

To set the LDAP server port number

To set the LDAP server port number, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set port value
```
where value is the LDAP server port number.

To set Veritas Access to use LDAP over SSL

To set Veritas Access to use LDAP over SSL, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set ssl {on|off}
```

To set the bind DN for the LDAP server

To set the bind DN for the LDAP server, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set binddn value
```
where value is the LDAP bind DN in the following format:
```
cn=binduser,dc=yourorg,dc=com
```
The value setting is mandatory.
You are prompted to supply a password. You must use your LDAP server password.

To set the root bind DN for the LDAP server

To set the root bind DN for the LDAP server, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set rootbinddn value
```
where value is the LDAP root bind DN in the following format:
```
cn=admin,dc=yourorg,dc=com
```
You are prompted to supply a password. You must use your LDAP server password.

To set the LDAP users, groups, or netgroups base DN

To set the LDAP users, groups, or netgroups base DN, enter the following:

Network> ldap set users-basedn value

Network> ldap set groups-basedn value

Network> ldap set netgroups-basedn value

users-basedn value

Specifies the value for the users-basedn. For example:

ou=users,dc=example,dc=com (default)

groups-basedn value

Specifies the value for the groups-basedn. For example:

ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com (default)

netgroups-basedn value

Specifies the value for the netgroups-basedn. For example:

ou=netgroups,dc=example,dc=com (default)

For example:

Network> ldap set users-basedn ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
Changes would be applicable after re-enable of LDAP service. 
Command successfully completed.

To set the password hash algorithm

To set the password hash algorithm, enter the following:
```
Network> ldap set password-hash {clear|crypt|md5}
```

To display the LDAP configured settings

To display the LDAP configured settings, enter the following:

Network> ldap get {server|port|basedn|binddn|ssl|rootbinddn|
users-basedn|groups-basedn|netgroups-basedn|password-hash}

To clear the LDAP settings

To clear the previously configured LDAP settings, enter the following:

Network> ldap clear {server|port|basedn|binddn|ssl|rootbinddn|
users-basedn|groups-basedn|netgroups-basedn|password-hash}
