• If you want to use secure communications, create a trusted point containing the certificate of the root
certificate authority (CA) of the LDAP server in Cisco UCS Manager.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Admin tab.
Step 2
On the Admin tab, expand All > User Management > LDAP.
Step 3
In the Work pane, click the General tab.
Step 4
In the Actions area, click Create LDAP Provider.
Step 5
On the Create LDAP Provider page of the wizard, do the following:
a) Complete the following fields with information about the LDAP service you want to use:
DescriptionName
The hostname or IP address on which the LDAP provider resides. If
SSL is enabled, this field must exactly match a Common Name (CN)
in the security certificate of the LDAP database.
If you use a hostname rather than an IP address, you must
configure a DNS server in Cisco UCS Manager.
Note
Hostname field
The order in which Cisco UCS uses this provider to authenticate
users.
Enter an integer between 1 and 16, or enter lowest-available or 0
(zero) if you want Cisco UCS to assign the next available order based
on the other providers defined in this Cisco UCS domain.
Order field
The distinguished name (DN) for an LDAP database accountthat has
read and search permissions for all objects under the base DN.
The maximum supported string length is 127 ASCII characters.
Bind DN field
The specific distinguished name in the LDAP hierarchy where the
server should begin a search when a remote user logs in and the
system attempts to get the user's DN based on their username. The
maximum supported string length is 127 characters.
This value is required unless a default base DN has been set on the
LDAP General tab.
Base DN field
The port through which Cisco UCS communicates with the LDAP
database. The standard port number is 389.
Port field
If checked, encryption is required for communicationswith the LDAP
database. If unchecked, authentication information will be sent as
clear text.
LDAP uses STARTTLS. This allows encrypted communication using
port 389.
