The chapter "Configure LDAP settings for Rack Access" in Netbotz 5.x User Guide (release of 02/2019) elaborates on how-to but the path indicated "Settings > System > User" cannot be mapped to any Advanced View menu.

Dear Michel Ract-Mugnerot,

It seems you did not understand the instructions above, which is addressed to RackAccess.

If we talk only about NetBotz-4.x appliances, then your desire is impossible. See, for example, Netbotz Advanced View Does NOT Support Radius, Active Directory or LDAP:

The NetBotz Advanced View does NOT support authentication or integration with Radius, OpenLDAP, Active Directory, or any remote authentication option. All authentication with the Advanced View utilizes standard username & password against the NetBotz appliance itself.

If you have more questions, please ask.

With respect.

All right, I come to the conclusion that the local accounts which are used to connect on the Netbotz through the Advanced View interface cannot be switched to LDAP accounts.

However, what "Rack Access" relates to ?

Dear Michel Ract-Mugnerot,

From your question:

The chapter "Configure LDAP settings for Rack Access" in Netbotz 5.x User Guide (release of 02/2019)...

You have mistakenly read the wrong instruction, that is addressed to the new NetBotz-750 appliance (which utilizes NetBotz-5.x firmware).

For the NetBotz-570 appliance, which utilizes NetBotz-4.x firmware, the correct instructions are in section Netbotz v4.x in the PDF Library.

With respect.

spezialist is correct, the 5.x configuration is only for the 750 and soon to be released 755.
I wanted to add a note here. For the 5.x LDAP configuration, please note that it is only for use with rack access at this time and the only use for this configuration is to associate an LDAP user with a local HID card so that if the LDAP user is removed from the authentication system, the associated card no longer functions.
