How do I authenticate to Windows Active Directory username/password database via LDAP to log in to SERIMUX-SCRP-x console server?

Follow the steps below to configure Windows 2003 Server and the SERIMUX-SCRP-x for authentication to Windows Active Directory via LDAP.

Set up Windows Server 2003:

Install Active Directory services
Configure the DNS
Setup Domain Account

User passwords must be different from the local authentication.
Verify the firewall settings

Select Network > Web server configuration
Choose the authentication method
Ex. LDAP server
Enter in the First LDAP Server
Ex. 192.168.1.42
Enter in the Second LDAP Server (if necessary)
Enter the LDAP search base
Ex: dc=dell,dc=local
Note: If the container is given a name, this will need to be entered into
the search base.
Ex: If the container is named SERIMUX Users
The search base entry will be: ou=serimux,ou=users,dc=dell,dc=local
Enter the Domain Name for the active directory
Ex. dell.local
