– Static server — Specify the FQDN or IP address and the LDAP port number.
– DNS server — Specify the DNS server to retrieve a list of LDAP servers by searching for their
SRV record within the DNS.
The following DNS query is performed for SRV records:
_[Service Name]._tcp.[Search Domain]
where <Search Domain> is the root level domain to use within the query and <Service
Name
> is the service name to use within the query.
For example:
_ldap._tcp.dell.com
where ldap is the service name and dell.com is the search domain.

Configuring Generic LDAP Directory Service Using RACADM
To configure the LDAP directory service, use the objects in cfgLdap and cfgLdapRoleGroup RACADM
groups.
There are many options to configure LDAP logins. In most of the cases, some options can be used with
their default settings.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the racadm testfeature -f LDAP command to test the
LDAP settings for first time setups. This feature supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The required property changes include enabling LDAP logins, setting the server FQDN or IP, and
configuring the base DN of the LDAP server.
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPEnable 1
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPServer 192.168.0.1
• $ racadm config -g cfgLDAP -o cfgLDAPBaseDN dc=
company,dc=com
CMC can be configured to optionally query a DNS server for SRV records. If the
cfgLDAPSRVLookupEnable property is enabled, the cfgLDAPServer property is ignored. The following
query is used to search the DNS for SRV records:
_ldap._tcp.domainname.com
ldap in the above query is the cfgLDAPSRVLookupServiceName property.
