Procedure

To configure an external LDAP server, run the following command.

# efa auth ldapconfig add --name ldapconfig –- host 10.x.x.x --bind-user-
name cn=admin,dc=extrnet,dc=com --bind-user-password password --user-search-
base ou=people,dc=extrnet,dc=com

This example configures the bind user name and password and the DN of the node from which searches start.

To configure an LDAP server in a TPVM (for the TPVM Ubuntu OS), run the tpvm config ldap command from the SLX-OS command line.
