LDAP Feature for the Remote
Console Switch
Overview
The Dell 2161DS, 2161DS-2, 4161DS, and 2321DS suite of Remote Console
Switches can authenticate and authorize users via a local database or by an
external scalable distributed directory service using the the Dell Remote
Console Switch Software or on-board web interface with LDAP (Lightweight
Directory Assistance Protocol) support. LDAP is a protocol standard used for
accessing and updating a directory using TCP/IP. The Dell Remote Console
Switch Software and on-board web interface supports both standard and Dell
extended schema, and offers strong security features including
authentication, privacy, and integrity.
NOTE: Windows 2008 Server is required to use LDAP in IPv6 mode.
NOTE: Only Microsoft Active Directory® is supported by the Remote Console
Switches.
NOTE: Using Active Directory to recognize Remote Console Switch users is
supported on the Microsoft Windows® 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating
systems.
The Structure of Active Directory
An Active Directory (AD) deployment consists of a distributed database
containing hierarchical structures of objects. Each object is associated with an
object class that determines what kinds of data can be stored in that object.
The hierarchical structures begin with objects that represent AD domains,
deployed to form a hierarchy of domain names that can be represented in a
tree diagram the same way DNS name spaces are usually depicted. The suite
of Dell Remote Console Switches is designed to support a single tree of
domains that are deployed in either a shallow or deep hierarchical name
structure.
