  1. Navigate to Configuration > System > Name Services.
  2. In the Name Services pane, select Global Configuration or an indvidual EVS from the EVS security contexts list.
    If an EVS inherits the global configuration, the option to modify the LDAP configuration settings is not available. In this situation, you can modify the settings for only the global configuration.
  3. Click the NIS / LDAP tab and confirm that LDAP Mode is shown, and then click the edit icon.
  4. Complete the following information:
    • In the Domain name box, enter the LDAP domain name.
    • In the Username box, enter the username of the administrator who has rights and privileges for this LDAP server. The name can be up to 256 characters in length.
    • In the Password box, enter the password for the username.
    • Set the TLS switch to Disabled or to Enabled to enable secure communication with the LDAP server.
    • In the Schema list, select one of the following schemas for use by the LDAP server:
      • MS Active Directory: Configures the server to operate with Microsoft Active Directory 2012 and later using the default Active Directory schema.
      • MS Identify Management for Unix: Deprecated by Microsoft.
      • MS Services for Unix: Deprecated by Microsoft.
      • RFC-2307: Defines a standard convention for the storage and retrieval of user and group mapping information from an LDAP server. If the site uses the RFC 2307 (or RFC 2307bis) schema, and you configure the storage server/cluster to support both mixed mode operations and LDAP services, it is assumed that you have already loaded the RFC 2307 schema into the directory, and that you have already provisioned the user objects appropriately. This is the default.
  5. Click Save.
