Configuring LDAP card validation

Use LDAP validation when validating users through an LDAP server.

1. From the Embedded Web Server, navigate to the configuration page for the application:

   Apps > Card Authentication > Configure

2. From the User Authentication section, set Card Validation to LDAP.

   Note: The Verify Certificate setting is applicable only to Identity Service and Web Service validation.

3. From the LDAP Server Setup section, configure the settings.

   Note: If Use Address Book is selected, then the application uses the LDAP settings that are already configured in the printer network accounts. If there are multiple LDAP accounts configured in the printer, then the application selects the setup name based on alphabetical order. Setup names starting in uppercase letters are selected first over lowercase letters.

   • Server Address—Type the LDAP server address.

   • Server Port—Enter the LDAP port number.

   • Use SSL—Select this option to enable a secure connection.

   • Search Base—Type the node in the LDAP server where user accounts reside. You can type multiple search bases, separated by commas.

   • Login Username—Type the LDAP account user name. In some LDAP server configurations, user credentials are required.

   • Login Password—Type the LDAP account password. In some LDAP server configurations, user credentials are required.

4. From the LDAP Attributes section, configure the settings.

   • User ID—Type the LDAP attribute that the application searches for when authenticating user credentials. For example, samaccountname, uid, cn, or a user-defined attribute.

   • Badge ID—Type the LDAP attribute for authenticating users with their assigned badge numbers. For example, employeeNumber.

   • User Information—Type the other user information that the application can retrieve from the LDAP server.

   • Group Membership Attribute—Type the LDAP attribute required for group search.

   • Group List—Type the LDAP group where the user accounts belong. The groups specified are added to the group permissions list of the application, where you can set the specific access controls for each group. You can type multiple group names, separated by commas.
