Enabling LDAP Directory Services Authentication
to Microsoft Active Directory
Certificate Services
The Microsoft® implementation of LDAP over SSL requires that the Domain Controllers install DC certificates
from the CA of the organization. This process occurs when the Enterprise Root CA service is added to a
server in Active Directory. HP strongly recommends using an Enterprise Root CA to minimize the complexities
of requesting and accepting DC certificates from a stand-alone CA.
NOTE: The Onboard Administrator LDAP feature supports Microsoft® Active Directory using the
memberOf attribute. Novell eDirectory is also supported with the groupMembership attribute.
OpenLDAP is not supported.
Preparing the directory
To prepare the directory:
1. Create an Active Directory group named OA Admins, and then put a user named Test Admin in this
group.
