LDAP
5
47
LDAP is a vendor-independent protocol standard used for accessing, querying and updating a directory using
TCP/IP. Based on the X.500 Directory Services model, LDAP is a global directory structure that supports strong
security features including authentication, privacy and integrity.
If individual user accounts are stored on an LDAP-enabled directory service such as Active Directory, you can use
the directory service to authenticate users. The default values given for the LDAP search and query parameters are
defined for use with Active Directory.
The settings made in the OBWI let you configure your authentication configuration parameters. The software sends
the username, password and other information to the appliance, which then determines whether the user has
permission to view or change configuration parameters for the appliance in the OBWI.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the LDAP default values should be used unless Active Directory has been reconfigured. Modifying
the default values may cause LDAP authentication server communication errors.
Configuring LDAP in the User Interface
LDAP Overview parameters
On the LDAP Overview page in the OBWI, you can configure the LDAP authentication priority and the
parameters that define LDAP server connection information.
LDAP authentication priority
In the LDAP Priority section of the OBWI, you can disable LDAP, or you can set the authentication priority by
choosing whether local authentication or LDAP authentication should happen first.
To configure LDAP authentication priority parameters:
1. Select Appliance - Appliance Settings - User Accounts - LDAP Accounts - Overview.
2. Select either LDAP Disabled, LDAP before Local or LDAP after Local for the LDAP Priority.
3. Click Save.
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.
