LDAP/E-Directory Settings
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
On the TSM GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that the BMC can use to authenticate users. If you have an LDAP server configured on your network, you can use it as an easy way to add, manage, and authenticate BMC users. This is done by passing login requests to your LDAP server. This means that there is no need to define an additional authentication mechanism, when using the BMC. Since your existing LDAP server keeps an authentication centralized, you will always know who is accessing the network resources and can easily define the user- or group-based policies to control access.
