1   Introduction

This document describes how to unlock the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication method.

The LDAP authentication method is unlocked when the managed element is operational or to test the proper execution of LDAP authentication.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• The user is a local Linux® user belonging to the com-emergency group.
• The LDAP administrative state is LOCKED.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To unlock the LDAP authentication method:

1. Navigate to the LdapAuthenticationMethod managed object, for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,UserManagement=1,LdapAuthenticationMethod=1

2. Enter Config mode:

   (LdapAuthenticationMethod=1)>configure

3. Unlock the LDAP authentication method:

   (config-LdapAuthenticationMethod=1)>administrativeState=UNLOCKED

4. Commit the setting:

   (config-LdapAuthenticationMethod=1)>commit

5. Verify the result:

   (LdapAuthenticationMethod=1)>show

   The following is an example output:

   LdapAuthenticationMethod=1 administrativeState=UNLOCKED Ldap=1

6. The LDAP authentication is now enabled. Users with a security profile in the LDAP server can authenticate with the managed element.
