LDAP/E-Directory Settings
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)/E-Directory Settings is an application
protocol for querying and modifying data of directory services implemented in Internet Protocol (IP)
networks.
In Web GUI, LDAP is an Internet protocol that BMC can use to authenticate users. If you have
anLDAP server conguredonyour network, you can use it as an easy way to add,manag
and authenticate BMC users. This is done by passing login requests to your LDAP Server. This
meansthatthereisnoneedtodeneanadditionalauthenticationmechanism,whenusingthe
BMC. Since your existing LDAP Server keeps an authentication centralized, you will always know

Active Directory Settings
An active directory is a directory structure used on Microsoft Windows based computers and
servers to store information and data about networks and domains. An active directory (sometimes
referred to as AD) does a variety of functions including the ability to provide information on
objects. It also helps to organize these objects for easy retrieval and access, allows access by
end users and administrators and allows the administrator to set security up for the directory.

If Authentication fails, the reason of fail could be invalid User or Invalid Password.
If Radius Authentication fails, we can't differentiate whether it is invalid user or invalid
password. So it is always treated as Invalid username error and PAM will try other
Authentication Methods.
If AD contains secret username & password as empty, Authentication fails will be always
treated as Invalid Password error. For Invalid Password error PAM will not try other
