GENERAL SETTINGS
The user and groups general settings allow you to change the way the camera manages the users and groups settings. These settings can be
managed on a camera-to-camera basis or by using a centralized server to apply changes to multiple cameras.
Figure 35. User and Group Settings Page
The available general settings for users and groups are as follows:
Standalone: The camera manages its users and groups locally. Any changes to users and groups affect only the camera that you are accessing.
Standalone is the default setting.
Node: The camera utilizes a centralized server for users and groups. In this mode, the users and groups pages are disabled and all management
is done on the central server. Any changes to users and groups affect all cameras connected to the central server.
Mixed: The camera verifies user names and passwords against a central server but manages group settings locally. This is useful if you want to
use a departmental or corporate server for user names and passwords. In this mode, the settings on the users page are limited and any changes
to user names and passwords are done on the LDAP server. While changes to user names and passwords affect all cameras connected to the
LDAP server, group permissions must be managed from each camera individually.
To set the camera to Node:
1. Click the Node option button. The Server box appears.
2. Click in the Server box, and then type the name of the central server.
3. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
To set the camera to Mixed:
1. Click the Mixed option button. The LDAP Server and Base DN boxes appear.
2. Click in the LDAP Server and Base DN boxes, and type the necessary information in each box.
3. Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.
NOTE: The Node and Mixed settings are advanced controls. Consult your network administrator to obtain the required information.
