Local LDAP database

Application

With the Local LDAP database setting the control saves the user data locally. That way you can activate user administration even on machines without a network connection.

Requirements

Description of function

A local LDAP database offers the following options:

  • Using user administration on one single control
  • Setting up a central LDAP server for more than one control
  • Exporting an LDAP server configuration file if the exported database is to be used by more than one control

Setting up a Local LDAP database

To set up a Local LDAP database:

  1. Open the User administration window
  2. Select LDAP user database
  3. The control enables the dimmed area for editing the LDAP user database.
  4. Select Local LDAP database
  5. Select Configuration
  6. The control opens the Configure local LDAP database window.
  7. Enter the name of the LDAP domain
  8. Enter the password
  9. Repeat the password
  10. Select OK
  11. The control closes the Configure local LDAP database window.

Notes

  • Before you can start editing the user administration, the control prompts you to enter the password of your local LDAP database.
  • Passwords must not be trivial and must be known only to the administrators.

  • If the host name or domain name of the control changes, you need to reconfigure the local LDAP databases.
