Setting Management Modules And Server Blades - Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 User Manual

Setting management modules and
server blades
This section describes necessary settings for connecting management modules to
LDAP servers.
For details about server blade settings, see the "LDAP
Setup" of the Web console for server blades.
 Setting user authentication
Enable the function for connecting to LDAP of "LDAP Server Linkage Setup" for the
system web console. By enabling this function, the system searches the LDAP
directory on the LDAP server at user authentication, and tries to authenticate users.
If the LDAP connection function is enabled, you can

log in to management modules and BMC by using the
user account you already set
If you register a user account name you already set for

management modules and BMC with the LDAP
directory, the system authenticates users by using the
user account information set for management module
and BMC.
 Registering LDAP servers
A maximum of three LDAP servers can be registered. If you register multiple LDAP
servers, the system tries to connect to the LDAP servers in the order they were
registered. The system searches the LDAP directory on the server of which
connection was established first, and tries to authenticate users.
If the system fails to connect to all the registered LDAP servers, user authentication
using the LDAP servers also fails.
Even if the system fails to connect to all registered LDAP
servers, it can authenticate users by using a user account
registered with a management module and BMC correctly.
 Setting the LDAP server connection
Port number
Specify the port number to use for connecting to the LDAP server. Normally, the 636
port is used, however, depending on your environment, you might have to use
another port. Check your network environment before you specify a port.
