Setting Up Open LDAP
To integrate an ExtremeXOS switch in an LDAP environment, a
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server must be configured to communicate with the LDAP
database. The following components are required to install the access control
solution:
- Linux server with Linux Red Hat 4.0
- FREERADIUS 1.1.x
- OpenLDAP 2.3.x
- Extreme Networks switches
- Windows 7/Windows 8 clients
To configure Universal Port for use in an LDAP environment,
use the following procedure:
-
Install and configure a RADIUS server on an existing Linux
server as described in Installing and Testing the FreeRADIUS Server.
-
Install and configure OpenLDAP as described later in
this section.
-
Add vendor specific attributes to the RADIUS and LDAP
servers as described in Installing and Testing the FreeRADIUS Server and later in this
section.
-
Configure the edge switches as described in this guide.
-
Configure each supplicant as described in Configuring a Windows 7/Windows 8 Supplicant for 802.1X Authentication.
For complete instructions on setting up an LDAP
server, see the product documentation for the LDAP server.
