LDAP servers
The Address fields specify the host names or IP addresses of the primary and secondary LDAP
servers. The secondary LDAP server is optional.
The Port fields specify the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers that communicate with
the LDAP servers. The default value is 389 for non-secure LDAP and 636 for secure LDAP
(LDAPS). The default Port ID is automatically entered by the software when an access type is
specified.
The Access Type radio buttons specify how a query is sent to each LDAP target device. When
using LDAP, all usernames, passwords and other information sent between an appliance and
LDAP server are sent as non-secure clear text. Use LDAPS for secure encrypted communication
between an appliance and LDAP server.
To configure LDAP server parameters:
1. Select Appliance - Appliance Settings - User Accounts - LDAP Accounts - Overview.
2. Identify the primary and secondary server address, port and access type in the appropriate
fields or radio buttons.
3. Click Save.
LDAP Search parameters
On the LDAP Search page, you can configure the parameters used when searching for LDAP
directory service users.
Use the Search DN field to define an administrator-level user that the appliance uses to log into
the directory service. Once the appliance is authenticated, the directory service grants it access
to the directory to perform the user authentication queries specified on the LDAP Query page.
The default values are cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=yourDomainName and dc=com and
may be modified. For example, to define an administrator Distinguished Name (DN) for
test.view.com, type cn=Administrator, cn=Users, dc=test, dc=view, and dc=com. Each Search
DN value must be separated by a comma.
The Search Password field is used to authenticate the administrator or user specified in the
Search DN field.
Use the Search Base field to define a starting point from which LDAP searches begin. The
modifiable default values are dc=yourDomainName and dc=com. For example, to define a
search base for test.com, type dc=test, dc=com. Each Search Base value must be separated by a
comma.
