<header>LDAP Server Configuration</header>
|
|
|
|
This page allows you to select the LDAP server that this client system will
|
|
contact to in order to fetch user and group information. The most important
|
|
field is the <b>LDAP server hostnames</b>, into which you must enter the
|
|
hostname or IP address of the LDAP server on your network. If you have more
|
|
than one replicated server, they can all be entered here. <p>
|
|
|
|
The <b>Login for non-root users</b> and <b>Password for non-root users</b>
|
|
fields must be filled in with a username and password accepted by the LDAP
|
|
server, respectively. The login will typically be an LDAP distinguished
|
|
name, like <i>cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com</i>.<p>
|
|
|
|
Because this login and password is visible to all Unix users on your system,
|
|
it is typically set to that of a LDAP user with limited privileges (such as
|
|
read-only access, and no ability to view passwords). Because passwords do
|
|
need to be checked in some situations, the <b>Login for root user</b> and
|
|
<b>Password for root user</b> fields should be set to an LDAP username and
|
|
password who has read access to the entire LDAP server. This second password
|
|
is stored in a file that is only readable by the <tt>root</tt> user, and
|
|
thus is secure from regular un-trusted Unix users. <p>
