Step C. Configure LDAP Authentication on the PXE Device

You must enable and set up LDAP authentication properly on the PXE device to use external authentication.

In the illustration, we assume:

  1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Authentication. The Authentication Settings dialog appears.
  2. Select the LDAP radio button to activate the LDAP/LDAPS authentication.
  3. Click New to add an LDAP/LDAPS authentication server. The "Create new LDAP Server Configuration" dialog appears.
  4. Provide the PXE with the information about the AD server.
  5. Click OK. The LDAP server is saved.
  6. Click OK. The LDAP authentication is activated.

Note: If the PXE clock and the LDAP server clock are out of sync, the certificates are considered expired and users are unable to authenticate using LDAP. To ensure proper synchronization, administrators should configure the PXE and the LDAP server to use the same NTP server.
